First time to drink "akabu", Iwate Prefecture's sake rice, Yui no Kou. One word: delicious. It has a rich, sweet, umami flavor. It is like Jyushiyo. There is a very faint hint of vinegar ethiene, but it is not bothersome. It is rich but has a clean aftertaste.
It is not sweet. Even liquor stores describe it as "medium".
