Chitosekizuru light nigori with hibernating hikuma label 🐻.
When I opened the bottle, it made a nice sound as it popped vigorously. ❗️ There was a pool of oriki at the bottom of the bottle, so I poured the top clear liquid first, and it was shwashy and sweet and sour, followed by a slight woody aroma.
When mixed with the corkage, the sweetness is surprisingly reduced and the rice aroma increases, making it a dry adult calpis soda 😋.
The aroma is not that great. A moderate sweetness and sourness stimulate the tongue and throat. Once the cage is mixed, it is enveloped in mellowness.
It is just as if it is going into hibernation with peace of mind.
