Snow Woman 2021.12 Summer's Edge 11.11.2022 Natsu no otoshi 2024.11 I will release the stock and compare them. I thought they were the same series with different names, but they are not. Yuki-Onna has a sourness, while Natsu no Otogiri has a gaseous and sweet taste, so they are different. That is how I felt when I compared the supernatant. I am sure that there is no difference between the two even when the top clearings were mixed. Yuki-Onna has acidity and rice flavor. I don't feel so much gas. It might be the passage of time. The post-ripening was a little less than in summer. Summer 2022 and 2024 are younger than 2024, so the gas is stronger. When I opened the bottle, I could feel the gas! When opened, the 2024 had a strong gassy feeling. The 2022 was a little mellower. This may be a preconceived notion. There is no big difference between the two. I think it is a wonderful construction. If I had to choose which one I prefer, I would say 2022, which has a little less gas. But I think 2024 will have the same taste after the same amount of time has passed, so there is no big difference between the two. I thought it would be risky to let it sit for so long because of the "Yuki-Onna" flavor, but there was no problem at all. It is wonderful in its own way!
