うぴょん(豊盃こそ至高)
Alcohol percentage 15
Ingredients: Rice, rice malt (both domestic)
Just as I was thinking that sour food tastes good in summer, I happened to come across a sour Koei Chrysanthemum. I had never had it at home, so I decided to take it home. So here we go!
The aroma is mild and refreshing, like cucumbers in a field of summer vegetables. As I sipped it, I could taste a little sweetness like that of a Japanese pear, but the umami and acidity were a perfect marriage, bursting together beautifully. The acidity is very strong, but the umami covers it, so it is not at all boring or harsh. After the acidity continues, the sharpness joins the acidity and disappears with a slight astringency, so you can drink it in gulps without getting tired of drinking it. I recommend drinking it very cold and adding ice is also a good idea. You can also add Japanese sweets as a snack. And although it is 15%, it feels light, so be careful not to drink the whole bottle. Thank you very much for your patronage tonight!
