From the label, “Kiyo is a religious ceremony in Kyushu to exterminate demons. This is an extremely spicy drink that will push the limits and even make demons run away.”
I agree. Had at room temperature. Dry is not the word.
In searching for this I see I had this last year, same place. No longer can say, “I’m getting old.” Instead have to say simply, “I am old.” Freshly opened bottle and it was fantastic. But don’t trust an old man.
Now this is an autumn hiyaroshi. Outstanding even if it is still sweaty time, season wise. (Newly opened bottle helps.). Had to drink too fast because we had to get home.
Even though it’s Hiyaroshi season, still 30+ degrees today. Not feeling very Autumn like and this nihonshu didnt help the feelings much. Still a well knit drink.
