It is said that the name of the brewery was inspired by the idea of "sake with the fragrance of the East" or something. The founder trained at the Ino family, which produced the famous Tadataka, before opening the brewery.
It is quite fruity on the palate. The attack is sweet, but when you roll it down and swallow it, you will find that it is not so sweet. Rather, the spiciness spreads gradually on the tongue as it rolls down.
This is the 600th one-cup, one-pack festival.
I drank it cold. It had a refreshing aftertaste with a slight tang on the nose and a hint of astringency, but it had a nice aroma on the palate, so it would be more enjoyable if it were heated.
Not so sure if it is in the best condition - strong alcoholic feel, need to rest for a while before it is more balanced and easy to drink. Not very fruity in style - while more of umami and cheese feel. May need to try other types to get a fairer impression.
