Lingering: Umami and a slight bitterness lingers moderately
Impression: Light and dry
The brewery insists on using Dewa Sanzan or else they would not be able to call themselves Gazan. Difficult to make.
The balance of the taste is quite light and dry, and the impression is even drier than the Gazan style we tasted earlier.
It was harshly spicy on its own, but when paired with sashimi, it was a world of its own. I finished it in no time. Pairing is amazing.
Repeat Score] 1.5
