However, although both countries produce Shine Muscat varieties, there are several important differences in taste, aroma, and quality that differentiate the Japanese and Korean products.
So, what’s the difference between the two? Read this explanation to help you choose the Shine Muscat wine that best suits your taste, as reported on the page Tasting Table.
Quality of Texture and Taste
Shine Muscat from Japan is known for its crunchier texture and dense flesh consistency. In addition, the taste of Japanese wine tends to be sweeter and richer without any sour taste, providing a refreshing sensation with every bite.
Meanwhile, Korean Shine Muscat grapes are also sweet, but the texture is slightly softer compared to Japanese grapes, so the eating experience can feel different.
Distinctive Floral Aroma
One of the advantages of Korean Shine Muscat is its stronger aroma and distinctive floral aroma.
This aroma gives the impression of fresh fruit and is appetizing. Japanese wine also has a fragrant aroma, but it is more subtle and not as strong as Korean wine. For lovers of wines with more intense aromas, Korean Shine Muscat could be the right choice.
Price and Availability
In the market, Japanese Shine Muscat is generally more expensive than the Korean version. This is due to strict quality standards and more controlled growing methods in Japan.
However, Korean Shine Muscat is an alternative at a more affordable price without significantly sacrificing quality.
Differences in Skin Thickness
Japanese Shine Muscat tends to have a thinner skin and is easy to chew, making it a preferred choice for those who want a more convenient eating experience.
On the other hand, some Korean Shine Muscat varieties have slightly thicker skins, although they are still thin compared to most grapes.
Popularity and Exports
In the international market, Korea has succeeded in popularizing their Shine Muscat to the point that it has become one of the most popular fruit export products.
Many Shine Muscats sold outside of Asia actually come from Korea, so buyers in America or Europe are more likely to find a Korean version than a Japanese version.
