Summer version of Kurumazaka mineral! — 2 years ago
This is No 9 bought around 10years ago and the bottle says best before June 2021..
I tasted a bit just after buying it and it tasted too sour for me. So I decided to recap and wait till it be matured well. .. and I forgot this one years.. today I reopen it. Not feeling the too strong taste I sensed last time. A little bubbling like traditional ale but strong enough to enjoy with Japanese pickled things such as kirikomi, Hokkaido-style fermented salty mackerel and Itsumi, salted sea-urchine — 7 months ago
