Rectangular Cool Takkyubin
I wondered what it was, but it was a sympathy return from my brother.
When I opened it, this bottle appeared
I thought, "I don't know this brand," but upon closer inspection, I found this
Nanyo Brewery😲.
I only knew Hana-Yuyo, but I didn't know they also made this!
60% polished Gohyakumangoku, 15-16% alcohol by volume
The top-tasting aroma is apple-like with a touch of lactic acidity.
Mild, but it's not a ginjo, so I guess that's about it 🤔.
When I drank it, I thought, oh, this is dry ❗️
The vector is very different from the sweet umami of Hanayuyo 😳.
It has a Junmai-like umami on top, with an impression of sweetness in the back.
When the temperature goes up, there's a bit of a twangy alcohol feeling.
There is a slight bitterness at the end, and after drinking it, you will be left with a lingering aftertaste of umami and spiciness.
Maybe this one is better suited to be heated up.
I'll try again tomorrow 😉.
