koge2
It is said to have originated from Fujiwara Kuniyoshi, the "Left Minister of Oze," the second son of Fujiwara Tsunefusa, the Minister of the Left at the time, who was driven out of the capital and exiled to this place (Shirasawa-cho, Numata City, Gunma Prefecture).
It is extremely fragrant. It has a hard acidity, a slight pungency, and a full-bodied flavor. It is a little unsatisfying when it is on the tongue and in the aftertaste, but it is delicious when it is swallowed!
