寿梨庵
I suddenly remembered drinking it in the past and looked for it in hopes of a reunion... I had no idea it was so hard to find 💧.
It seems to be carefully crafted on a small scale: 🙇♂️
It doesn't say so on the label, but it is shipped fully aged and the taste clearly shows it 😌.
It has a complex nose of brown sugar, cream, etc., like an old wine. The mouthfeel is smooth, but it finishes with impact. ⚡️
It does not have a strong sense of maturity, but rather a fresh impression, and as soon as you think it is unexpectedly light ❔, the umami slowly rushes in, and the bitterness is not so strong, but it is still very strong in the lower esophagus... 😯.
After that, the bitterness lingers in the oral cavity: 〰︎
It goes really well with chicken liver 👍
It was easy to expect it to warm up, but the higher the temperature, the easier it becomes to drink ❕.
And the more you raise the temperature, the easier it gets to drink ❕ and the more it consistently radiates character without losing its backbone... it's a strong sake ✨.
I was actually able to get a bottle of the raw sake as well. Very much looking forward to it😊.
