＜A slightly sweet, slowly deliciously bitter classic.
This is Shikanaru, a brand distributed by Seibei Imanishi Shoten, the distributor of Harushika.
Incidentally, the word "Shikamei" is derived from "Shikamei no shi" in the oldest Chinese poetry, "Shijing," and is said to express hospitality to visitors. Ah, so the Deer Cry Pavilion.
Well, then, let's have a drink.
The aroma is very mild and faintly delicious.
In the mouth, it is softly and gently sweet, bitter, umami, and acidic. From there, the umami and bitterness gradually come through. It is a swelling of umami and bitterness that is typical of Omachi.
Hmmm? Aged?
It has a rich, slightly bitter aftertaste that makes one think "matured? The production date is November 2021, so even if it is not matured, the flavor may have been added during the six-month period.
If we compare it to Ghibli, it is like old Mito in "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". He is a castle old man who looks like Nausicaa's closest aide. He always looks bitter. But this guy is only 40 years old. Young for all his maturity!
Satisfaction level: ★★★☆☆☆
