Clear in color, this looks like water. The nose is light but there is some slight pine and a touch of tangerine. Slightly viscous. On the palate, Umami and alcohol (but restrained). This is very deep and complex. It comes off as simple but really is intriguing. Smooth finish. 300ML

The name is derived from a local legend that mysterious lights appeared on Mt. Kirin in the past. Locals believed that the lights are paper lanterns carried in the fox-bride procession. The event is celebrated in Niigata every year at the fox-bride festival. Vary, very pale silver/yellow in color, clear and bright. The nose has a slightly floral quality to it along with cashews. Viscous/oily texture. On the palate, firm umami notes along with a bit of nuttiness and slight mint on the finish. Very smooth. No heat.
