It was recommended to us by Takatsuya, a sake maker in Ibaraki Prefecture. It seems that Gan is no longer produced, and we were able to purchase a precious bottle! It was released from the warehouse in April 2020. I'm looking forward to it!
The color is a faint yama-buki.
The aroma is only faintly sweet.
When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness passes for a moment, but soon a clear umami and a clear bitterness spread and it is pleasantly dry. It also has a good sharpness. The sweet and bitter aftertaste invites you to take another sip.
This is delicious! It's a dry taste with a beautiful bitterness impression. It's a luxurious feeling, like drinking a cup of deep, dark iced coffee on a hot day in the middle of summer.
Gan is definitely a brand I hope they bring back!
