I received a nice sake from a friend in Akita. It seems that a friend of mine who is a wine specialist collaborated with A-Sakura to produce this sake.
Refreshing fruitiness with a hint of kabosu and sudachi.
Syrupy sweetness and gorgeousness.
However, the floral taste is too persistent and bothers me. It bothers me even if I drink it on a different day. The sake is slightly dry with a sake strength of +2, but the sweetness is strongly picked up due to the florality, perhaps due to the AKITA snow country yeast UT-01. It may be that many people like it because of the recent trend of floral flavors.
Thanks to the brewer who sent us a limited edition of 600 bottles of this precious sake.

This is the sake I drank at my senior's restaurant🎶.
It was my first time to drink this brand!
I know the name and have seen it in the store, but this was my first time drinking it!
It was so-so dry.
On the way home, we went to Ramen Ramen restaurant Rin.
A-Sakura Shuzo Junmai-Shu Yukisayaka. It is a delicious sake with a good balance of sweetness, flavor, and acidity. This sake is made from 100% Yukisayaka produced in Mukawa-cho, Hokkaido.
Apparently, for adult reasons, it cannot be named kijoshu.
It is thick and dense, with a strong acidity that accentuates and washes it away. I had a preconceived notion that kijo-zake = sweet, but it was surprisingly refreshing.
