寿梨庵
All Gunma, Maifu drinking set. Seitoku-san in Amagasaki town. It is a minor place which is difficult to understand and to explain for those who are not familiar with Gunma Prefecture. It is in the place. I have no memory of having received it, and I may not have drunk it even when I was in Gunma.
It is a Junmai Ginjo Genshu made with Gunma 227 yeast. This yeast is an improved version of KAZE yeast, and Seitoku-san seems to use it often.
It has a dark yamabuki color, a fruitiness like Japanese pears and apples, and a sweetness like brown sugar that has been aged. It has enough umami, and the latter half is tightened and there is astringency. It is austere and flashy or rich in flavor. I think the personality is brought out together with this yeast. Good impression.
