(カワダ調べ)
Wakaevis, Claudie.
Slightly niggly and slightly effervescent, 15° sweet and modern. Easy to drink. Rumune.
I thought the label popped and matched the content.
Aono comes from the fact that it was brewed in a "blue tank" in the Ao district of Iga City.
The name "Aono" is derived from a haiku by Matsuo Basho, a native of Iga: "Let a man take his age, but always be a young Ebisu.
There are many interesting interpretations of the haiku.
Personally, I prefer the theory that "Ebisu-sama makes us take a year off every New Year, so Ebisu-sama is always young.
Hatsu Ebisu, a local custom to celebrate the New Year by wearing Ebisu-sama masks, and Hirukoya, a sake brewery across the street from the former inn business, asked to exchange their businesses. The business is complex, including Waka Ebisu, since the owner is now younger.
