Description
Rich sweetness and vibrant acidity. An evolved Kijoshu that adds a touch of luxury to your dessert-like moments.
This Kijoshu, made by brewing with sake as part of the brewing water, offers a rich and dense sweetness as its star. Particularly noteworthy is the sharp acidity, characteristic of Shirasugi Brewery.
The clean acidity derived from black koji tightens the luxurious honey-like sweetness, leading to a surprisingly modern and light aftertaste. The multi-layered umami that spreads with each sip is truly an "adult dessert." Indulge in its overwhelming individuality, whether enjoyed leisurely after a meal or paired with strong-flavored ingredients like blue cheese.
