＜It's apple-like, with a bright sourness and a light sweetness.
The aroma has a faint sourness of apples. It is not so clear.
When you put it in your mouth, it has an intense sourness like apples. Then, there is a modest sweetness in the back. Finally, there is a hint of apple alcohol.
Surprisingly, it's not sweet. It's definitely apple-like, but not that much. It's good, but I think I prefer it to be a little sweeter.
I paired it with Iburi Gakko Cream Cheese as a side dish. It's a sake from Akita. I wonder who came up with this iron plate combination. It goes great with sake.
I checked and found out that the yeast is Association 77. It is a yeast that produces a lot of malic acid. Of course, "Koko Ringo" is made with this yeast, and "Kagamiyama Ringo Acid Yeast Brewing" and "Senkou Kabutomushi" are also made with 77.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I'd say it's like the little Madge from "Laputa: Castle in the Sky". He's an energetic three-year-old boy who chases pigs wielding a broom. She was born when my wife was 17 years old.
Satisfaction level: ★★★☆☆
