Shinsei PRIVATE Labo Flax Cat Junmai Sake.
I opened a bottle of this season's First lot, as I see that work prevents me from attending the event.
The taste is fresh with a refreshing acidity that also feels fresh, but the texture feels a bit hard on the tongue. The aroma is pleasant with relatively mild grain and citrus.
This year, the acidity remains moderate and the sweetness is a little subdued, spreading at the same time as the umami.
The astringency and bitterness that can be felt from the mid-palate are also delicious, but they are gentle and distinct from the grapefruitiness that can be felt at times.
Although the high temperature of the rice makes it difficult to produce sweetness, this is still a delicious wine.
