We introduce Direct Path, from No.6 S-type. A light, delicate sweet-and-sourness is the very essence of Aramasa Shuzo. A fresh, soft sweetness like cotton candy and apple, with a crisp acidity like grapefruit and lemon. The creaminess of kimoto brewing rounds out the mouthfeel, and while the impression is smooth and soft, a clear assertiveness still comes through — a flavour with real definition and contrast, the class madonna.
