Its enduring sweet aftertaste conjures the serene sensation of being transported to a tranquil, aromatic pine forest. Goku Mukashi provides a truly exceptional and unique tasting experience, delivering a comforting and heartfelt flavour profile that lingers gracefully on the palate, inviting repeated enjoyment and appreciation.
