From the brewery
愛山の真っ直ぐな甘さを、生酛由来の酸でキリッと締める。生酛仕込みをこんな風に活かしてもいいんじゃないかな。と、杜氏のひと声から醸された1本です。「愛山×生酛×火入れ×9号酵母」のスペックは愛山13と同じなのですが、アプローチを変えることでまったくちがう表情に仕上がっています。さらに長期熟成を経ることで奥深さを求めたく、現在2019BYを低温熟成させてリリースのタイミングを見計らっています。Original text from the brewery, in Japanese.

A sake brewery that has continued since the Edo period. Located in the post town at the foot of Torii Pass, which was said to be the most difficult place on the Kiso Kaido, it was a healing sake for many travelers. It is now inherited by the spirit of warm wisdom.
