＜Fresh grapefruit with a hint of sourness.
The color is slightly cloudy.
The aroma is slightly citrusy with a hint of rice flavor.
The mouthfeel is slightly acidic and bitter. The description says it is effervescent, but most of the gas is gone by the second day. From there, the acidity of grapefruit comes through. A step later, the sweet bitterness also comes through.
Yes, this is grapefruit. Come to think of it, the color also looks like grapefruit juice. It doesn't have a sake-like taste at all.
Even though it has been aged for 3 years, there is almost no sense of maturity. It is rather fresh.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Anna from "Marnie of the Memories". It is like Anna in the first half of the movie, full of acidity and bitterness. Come to think of it, the "Brewing Forest," which I compared to Anna the other day, is also very grapefruit-like.
Degree of liking: ★★★☆☆
