Wuliangye (Premium Baijiu)
茅台酒の永遠のライバル！5つの穀物が織りなす「華やかな甘い香り」
Description
The premium brand reigning at the apex of China's Baijiu market alongside Moutai. Produced in Yibin, Sichuan. Named 'Wu Liang' (Five Grains) because it uses sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat, and corn. Called 'Nongxiang' (strong aroma) style, it explodes with an overwhelmingly gorgeous, fruity sweet aroma like pineapple or pear.

Eating tips & etiquette
If Moutai's 'Jiangxiang' (fermented soy/miso smell) is a heavy Northern image, Wuliangye's 'Nongxiang' (fruity, gorgeous sweet smell) is a refined, gorgeous image.
