I found it at a liquor store in Shiga Prefecture and bought the label.
It is a brewery that you don't see around our area.
It is a new brand of Taga created in August 2023.
It is made from 100% Taga-grown "Aki-no-Shi" rice. The rice is edible, apparently.
There was a sign warning against opening the bottle, but when I opened it, the bottle just popped a little. It seems to have been fire-brewed.
The aroma is banana and melon. Slightly acidic aroma.
The label says it is a dry type with a hint of sourness, but the sourness is not so pronounced. It seems to be masked by the umami. The aftertaste is spicy and bitter, so it has a nice sharpness.
When drinking it, you don't feel much of a gasiness.
The next day, it thickens and I can feel the hidden sourness. It's pretty good 😋.
