We visited a brewery in Saitama. It was an old brewery with dust everywhere. I wonder if it will survive.
I went back to my house in Tokyo and opened the bottle.
The aroma was a little subtle.
The first sip.
Hmmm, it has a clean taste, but it has a cloying taste. It's only refreshing on the first sip, but it tastes like a cup of sake. If it has been aged, it might be a peculiarity.
There is a little acidity, and the sake level is +/-0, so it does not have the bad taste of alsochrome.
The rice is a combination of Hyogo Yamadanishiki and Sai-no-Kagayaki. I don't know the ratio, but it is inexpensive.
I tried heating it up later, but the bad parts stood out. It is best served at room temperature.
The company that manufactures watch parts is said to have been operating it in recent years.
