Genbei-san no Onikoroshi [1 Koku - 82]

genbeisanFrom Yamamoto-Honke, in Nara Prefecture, this "demon slayer" is variously described as a honjozo or a futsushu. I'm leaning towards the latter, as apart from the 16% alcohol, absolutely no other details are provided. Tastes "older" than the last time I tasted this, lighter in the nose, cleaner, but still tangy. On the palate, still very dry, crisp, with a bitter finish, but the sweet component was more fullsome. Still, quite ok, but probably not buying a bottle for myself again.
