Rishu
The sake on the right was pressed this morning, and the one on the left was pressed last year.
The first time I drank this sake was in November of the year before last.
It was still before I became aware of local sake, but I was shocked by its rich sweetness and flavor.
After doing some research, I found out that this sake is pressed every year on the morning of Risshun (first day of spring), so I made a reservation and bought it last year.
However, the taste was different from the first time I drank it, and it tasted clean. (Of course it's delicious).
I've heard that sake becomes richer with time, so I let it sit in my home refrigerator for a year.
Conclusion
There is not much change in the taste.
By the way, this year's Risshun Asa-shibori seems to be thicker than last year's. I think the difference is due to the temperature.
I think the difference is due to the temperature.
Either way, it's delicious 😆.
