Nose
Lush and seductive with fruits galore: tinned apricots, slightly overripe peaches, candied orange peel, Yubari melon and Jonagold apples; also marzipan, Danish pastries, fruit-flavored hi-chu (soft candy) and a hint of umeshu.
Palate
Zesty (lime zest, candied grapefruit peel) and effervescent (home-made ginger ale) on the attack; leading onto fruit-notes suggested by the nose (orange sorbet, various kinds of jam – apricot and plum jam – but also grape skins and apple peel), and with a hint of edamame in the background.
Finish
Long, pleasantly spicy, with custard notes of candied ginger and transition to notes of milk chocolate, chili pepper and lime. The zesty notes build in intensity on the finish (with some sudachi appearing), transforming via white pepper into fresh bird's eye chili, which lingers forever and ever… a seemingly endless tingly delight (with a touch of melon, too).
