Color: Light amber or golden honey.
 
Nose: The nose opens with a gentle floral aroma, featuring subtle notes of rose, lychee, and a hint of rosemary. There are delicate hints of orange peel and a whisper of sandalwood, contributing to a fragrant and slightly sweet bouquet. A touch of Mizunara (Japanese oak) adds an exotic and woody complexity.
 
Palate: On the palate, Hibiki Japanese Harmony offers a harmonious blend of flavors. It is smooth and soft, with a creamy texture. The initial sweetness of honey and candied orange peel is balanced by the richness of white chocolate and a hint of cinnamon spice. There are layers of dried fruits, nuts, and a touch of almond, which provide depth and a slightly nutty undertone.
 
Finish: The finish is long, elegant, and clean. It features lingering notes of sweet vanilla, a hint of Mizunara oak, and a gentle spiciness. The aftertaste is warm and slightly dry, with a delicate hint of bitter chocolate.
