Suishin Junmai [1 Koku - 95]

From the Suishin Yamane Honten in Hiroshima. SMV +3, acidity 1.7, 14.% abv. Lightly sweet nose, on the palate quite full and rich, bordering on the off-dry, but with a pleasing, if not refreshing bite on the finish (moreso than might be expected from these soft waters, but then again, I think the acidity level is a good clue here). Easy drinking sake, worthy of its following, and one that I enjoy returning to. Inviting at just about any temperature, this is not an isshobin that will last long.
