The nose is like grape skins, and when you drink it, it finishes with a light acidity and a slight grape fruitiness, along with a touch of astringency.
The smoky flavor and subtle astringency that you feel in your mouth are pleasant.
It has a very good flavor that does not lose out when matched with meat.

The 8th SAKE Fes in Yurakucho.
Also by A-Sakura. Re-jozo-shu brewing is so-called ki-jozo-shu. 🙂↕️
The sake rice is Fukuhibiki🌾 from Akita prefecture.
The color is slightly yellowish. The color is slightly yellowish, which is probably because it is a kijo-shu strain.
The taste is sweet. It is smooth, but not cloying. The sweetness is like ripe fruit, but the spoonful is moderate.
The taste is unexpectedly refreshing.
The sake looks and tastes interesting, with a single tag as a substitute for the label 🏷️.

The 8th SAKE festival in Yurakucho.
I got there in the afternoon and was able to get in without standing in line. But the venue was crowded 😄.
Each brewery has its own booth, so we aimed for the empty booths 👀.
We hit up A-Sakura 👉!
The name Hyakuda is a new sake rice from Akita Prefecture 🌾 I had never heard of it before 🙄.
It's sake 🍶.
I feel the sweetness is strong 😚.
But it is not heavy, clean and refreshing, and goes down the throat nicely.
The ginjo aroma is mellow and enjoyable.
Momota, it seems to be a promising rice for sake brewing. ☺️

The aroma is not that strong and is quiet.
In the mouth, there is a strange chemical taste for a moment, and then the delicious taste of rice spreads softly. It is a taste I have never had before. It is strange.
The aftertaste is very clean and easy to drink.
