It's been a while since I've had a bottle of Shinsei... I used to drink it when I first got into sake, so it's been about 5 or 6 years since I've had it.
I don't know what I was thinking, but it had been stored at room temperature, so I had a bad feeling about it. At first I was like "Hmm? But as the days went by, I became "Oh! as the days went by.
The aroma is mild and slightly peachy. You can already sense the acidity in the nose, so it smells like unripe plums.
Strong acidity in the mouth! There is a little bit of sweetness, but the acidity makes it feel surprisingly dry. At the end, the bitterness and the alcoholic taste will make you feel dry. Despite the dryness, the aftertaste is rather long. It has a unique and interesting flavor.
It's amazing that even after a few days have passed, the strengths of this beer remain unchanged and delicious. I think I caught a glimpse of the greatness of Shinsei.
