Giou - Dry mead made only with honey

"Giou", fermented slowly at low temperature, is actually the first mead we brewed at ANTELOPE.
We named this mead, which is our origin, "Giou," after the name of the place where the brewery is located. At first, the taste is like sake, but the aftertaste has a bittersweet, honey-like astringency. "Is honey bitter?" Some people may think so, but the bitterness is sometimes masked behind the sweetness and hidden in the back.
Through a long aging at schedule low temperatures, we have tried to express a smooth mouthfeel that does not give the impression of high alcohol content.
With a refreshing honey and issuer-derived aroma that is slightly reminiscent of citrus, we also expressed a very rounded, yet drinkable sharpness. The taste is easy to recommend for people who regularly drink sake and shochu.
