Collection Review 67
From the nose, the wine is full, with brown sugar-like nuances.
When you drink it, you first sense its strength. From there, a strong acidity with a strong impact comes up. This acidity is similar to that of pickled plums. What is this? Whether it tastes good or not depends on who you ask (I can enjoy it), but there is no doubt that it is an interesting sake. But still, it has too much character lol.
It is completely different from the former TSUCHIDA F, and from what I know about those days, the strength is amazing! The former one was sold as a sweet and sour light sake, but this time it is a completely different sake with a strong acidic flavor. This "F" is the name given to a sake that was created without the manufacturer's intention, so it is no wonder that it is a different sake.
To be honest, the previous version was better, but I heard that the previous version was made by mistake in the production of sake to be presented at a sake show, so they must have been aiming for something different this time.
But if you think of it as a variant of plum wine, it's quite tasty, so it's probably not so bad. I would never recommend it to people who don't like sourness, but to those who do, it might be the No. 1 sake I would like to drink with them, telling them how interesting it is. LOL!
