Collection Review 85
I advocate that "Abeno Junmai is good when hi-ire", so I decided to see what would happen if I let it sit for a year, and this time I opened the bottle!
The aroma of apples is very calm...it's so delicious. This is just like...Shinshu Kamerei.
I don't know now if this flavor is due to the fact that it has been aged for a year, or if it is due to the original construction of this lot (lol).
First, there is a lot of fruity sweetness, similar to apricot, without being unpleasant. Then it moves on to brown sugar-like richness and umami with a touch of acidity, and finishes with elegant bitterness, as usual, but while it is cold, the apple is a bit in the foreground, so it is like Shinshu Kamerei.
When I opened it, I could still feel the spikiness of alcohol, so I was looking forward to seeing how many days it would take for it to settle down!
The result of [the experiment to see what happens if you let Abeno Junmai Hi-iri sit for a year or so] was that it doesn't deteriorate in particular after a year or so! It tastes good all the time.
And what is a mystery is why it goes well with meals while it is full of this sweetness... It doesn't seem to go well with low-oil Japanese food or vegetarian food, but it seems to go well with anything in modern people's daily meals!
