Nu'er Hong (Shaoxing Wine)
娘の誕生から嫁ぐ日まで土に眠る「愛と祝福の茶色い酒」
Description
A famous traditional Huangjiu (Shaoxing wine) from Zhejiang. Named 'Daughter's Red' from the romantic tradition of 'brewing wine and burying it when a daughter is born, then digging it up to serve at her wedding banquet'. Aged long-term, the tartness rounds out, offering deep depth like caramel or dried fruit.
