Junmai Ginjo🍶.
A gift from a colleague 🙏 He said he likes this brewery and visits several times a year.
It is pleasantly sweet and sour. A little bit of a schwarziness. Dry aftertaste. On the rocks 🧊 increases the spiciness, but it is easy to drink. Has a heavy back. Heating up ♨️ increases both sweetness and spiciness. Good for simmered flounder. My wife says it doesn't feel sweet on the tongue, but sweet on the upper jaw 😅 nice acidity is pleasant. It is also good with Shiho bamboo from Kochi 🎋 which is rare in autumn 👍Thanks for the treat 🙏.

It has an apple-like flavor and softness!
The sweetness and acidity are just right, and it is easy to drink, with no unpleasant tang!
It conveys the sweetness of rice while expressing sake-like characteristics, which is good!
