This sake has a pear- or melon-like fragrant aroma and a refined flavor that strikes a good balance between sweetness and slight acidity. The aroma and flavor burst in one's mouth. It also has a pleasant aftertaste that lingers like a river flow. The number 1920 refers to the year Asahi Shuzo was established.

A glass that widens at the rim is recommended in order to maximize the fragrance.
It pairs well with western cuisine in general, but exceptionally well with steak tartare and fruit cake. Enjoy the superb pairing with appetizers, fruit, and desserts.
