Appearance
No change
No more bubbles from carbonation
Aroma
More subdued than yesterday.
Sweet roasted chestnut notes.
Flavor
The freshness is more mature and rounded in a good way.
The acidity, in particular, has mellowed.
The acidity, in particular, has become milder, which compensates for the bitterness and sweetness, and is more cohesive.
Body
The carbonation is gone and the body is rounder.
Soft mouthfeel with no spines.
Overall impression
Based on yesterday's impression, I thought it would go well with sashimi.
Today, I seared a mackerel and served it with a side dish.
It was a perfect match!
It blends well with the acidity of the pickled mackerel without accentuating the fishy smell of the fish.
I didn't try heating it up, but it's a good match even when served cold.
