The owner recommended me to buy different BY's of the same brand of Shirahiko, saying that it would be interesting to compare them. He told me that as the days go by, there will be a point where the flavors will cross. I don't know how many days I should wait, but I'm trying it.

The experiment ended on day 13.
I couldn't tell if there was any crossover in taste compared to the 2020BY one.
