We received a bottle of A-Sakura Junmai Ginjo Yukinofu.
At first glance, the name may sound like it is made from Yukinofu rice, but it is not. The name is derived from the name of the designer who designed this lovely label.
I had purchased this sake in March, but since I drink dozens of bottles in the order of purchase, there is inevitably a time lag. That is the reason for the unseasonal rush of spring sake. I would like to reduce my stock more so that I can enjoy these seasonal drinks on time, but there are so many I want to drink that I can't reduce it at all.
As the label's image of a pretty, fragile girl suggests, this sake has a sweet and sour taste with a freshness that is typical of nama-zake. I had imagined it to have a gentler flavor, but it had a surprisingly strong sake-like and alcohol-like taste.
I heard that there are several patterns of Yukinofu labels, so I will try to buy it again when I see it.

The sweetness is moderate, but the acidity and citrus notes are well balanced. It is light and soft to the touch.

Good evening, Makozy 🦉It's nice to see a review after a long time 😊.
I've only had the sparkling, but the dry one looks good too!
Is it octopus stick and shrimp mayo stick, or tempura on a stick? I was curious 😁.

A-Sakura has a soft mouthfeel. It is quite tasty, although it seems mature when drunk in comparison.

I had an image that A-Sakura was more classical, but this is a trendy type. It has a fresh, almost citrus-like sweetness that is typical of nama sake, with a nice sharpness, and went well with the stewed motsu.
