Tasting: A rare dry style expression within the Eiko Fuji lineup. True to its name “Fujin” (Wind Blade), it enters the palate with sharp, clean precision. The opening shows fresh melon and lemon notes with juicy brightness, followed by concentrated rice umami and an exceptionally crisp, cutting dry finish. Refreshing, brisk, and boldly structured.

Pairing: Excellent with tempura, karaage, yakitori, or flavorful stir‑fried dishes. Its dry, razor‑clean finish cuts through oiliness and keeps the palate refreshed.
