Hakata Hyakunenkura Junmai Ginjo F44
15% 55% 720ml 1870yen
I went to Hakata brewery from Tokyo. There were a lot of souvenirs and many foreigners were there.
This is the first time to drink sake from this brewery, but it gives the impression of being sweet, heavy, and guttural. It has a flavor like persimmon extract and a depth like soy sauce-based soup stock. It is sweet and spicy, sweet and strong, and has a powerful feeling of more than 15 degrees Celsius.
My wife said it has a salty taste.
It is a little too strong to keep drinking. It is best served on the rocks.
The website says that it is for "food", but I wonder if this is the taste that people in Kyushu prefer.
The label says "F44" because it uses Fukuoka's strain 44 yeast.
