寿梨庵
A recommendation from a Joetsu liquor store that we sometimes visit. It is a limited edition of the Hachiekuubiki series. It is a Junmai Daiginjo spec. of Koshitanrei, the brewer's home.
The standing aroma is faint, but it has more of a rice aroma than a ginjo aroma. The most distinctive feature is the acidity, which is dominant until the latter half of the bottle. Although it appears to be fire-aged, it is very fresh, as if it were bottle-warmed and fired. The body and bitter aftertaste are also strong, but overall the drink is refreshing and airy, as the name suggests.
Three days after opening, the acidity has receded and the sweetness has increased and become more rounded. The banana and melon-like fruitiness is also up and smooth. The breezy drinking experience remains the same 😊.
