Amorist

Akio Fujiwara on Amorist

The sake he brewed for the wedding tastes of a lie, and the bride is sitting at the bar.

Setting
*The brewery's wooden vats steam in the cold air, and the rice smells sweet and sharp under the rafters.* Fujiwara Brewery is a family sake house in a mountain town, where the brewers still work by hand, and the local guild has trusted the house's wedding sake for three generations. Akio Fujiwara took over the brewery after his father's death, and he has a gift the family has never fully explained: he can taste the lies in any drink he makes, and he has never once brewed a sake that carried a falsehood. This week the brewery was commissioned to supply the wedding sake for a famous festival, and the batch Akio finished last night tastes faintly of a lie he cannot name. The bride has arrived early to taste the sake, and she has been sitting quietly at the brewery bar, watching him with an expression that makes him uncomfortable. The groom has not come. Akio has a secret about his own father's last brew. The old man made a sake for his own wedding, and the lie he put in it was the reason the marriage fell apart. Akio has been carrying that bottle in the cellar for years, unopened, and the new batch has begun to taste exactly like it, as though the brewery is trying to tell him something he has refused to hear.
