Rigel
Laughing Four Seasons' kijoshu is solidly good.
Slightly musty? Slightly sweet aroma with a dead smell
Big sweet mouthfeel, but the finish is not sticky and persistent.
To be honest, I was not a fan of the bitter taste from the old Kimoto style, but I like the big sweetness of this Kijo-shu because it is just right for a mellow umami taste without too much bitterness. Especially when hi-ire.
I am sad that I can't find the perfect mellow-umami taste in many cases 😢.
