From Miyazaki Honten in Mie Prefecture. SMV +2, 14.5% abv. Slight lemony tinged, mildly sweet & earthy nose, but never very aromatic. When chilled, this was dull on the palate and the alcohol rather prominent, but as it warmed, it developed a nice fruity palate - honeydew, quince, fig, nuts, and some cantaloupe on the lightly acidic finish. Overall, medium+ body, off-dry and smooth. Best drinking so far is lightly chilled - at room temperature, the acidity drops off again, and the alcohol starts poking through. Worth trying this atsukan.
