Wine fr Japan

Chanced upon this wine at airport lounge in Japan. Pale lemon A distinctive floral aroma reminding of gwertz. Apple, lemon, passion fruit.tinge of sweetness. Medium acid ( definitely less than typical. Riesling).short finish though.only to realize it's fr German Kerner grape ( cross between Riesling n another local German varietal). The slight late harvest in Hokkaido gv the slight sweetness to it.
