This is the third year that I have started drinking Tetorigawa Shirojyu. The year before last was so delicious that it was a shock... Last year was a reaction to that impression and was not so memorable, but this year I was able to drink it better than last year!
The citrus acidity is refreshing and crisp, and the umami and bitterness are more impressive than the sweetness. I wonder what it is...it is like eating a tangerine with a strong sour taste under a kotatsu (a table over the kotatsu in winter). Sour tangerines have a suppressed sweetness, but I guess it is the same with sake.
I was really looking forward to tasting it a few days later when the acidity had gone.
The second day tasted like a grapefruit sour with a pleasant (this is an important point) bitterness.
The third day was right in the middle of my favorite, and I finished it without thinking. On the contrary, I don't remember.
On the 4th day, the bitterness comes forward a bit, but it is still delicious and has a grapefruit sour taste.
It was very tasty because it was able to balance the freshness and the intensity of the alcohol! It would be great with fatty foods such as chicken tatsuta or grilled mackerel, or sour foods such as Japanese-style stewed chicken wings with vinegar.

Happy New Year, Masa! I look forward to working with you again this year 🙌
I thought it was easy to buy Tedorigawa, but it's so popular and surprisingly difficult to buy 💦.
I wish you the best of luck ☺️✨
