Nishida Denshu Tokubetsu Junmai [1 Koku - 78]

nishida denshu
From Aomori Prefecture. Semaibuai 55%, SMV +3, acidity 1.5, 15.5% abv. I understand that this is not widely available, even in Japan, and has a bit of a cult-y following. Understandably so. Creamy steamed rice nose, delicious melon and rice-sweetness. Full-bodied yet ever so clean, especially cold, but once it gets to room temperature, clean and umami. Super.

  1. I live in California, United States... I am dying to find this sake on-line. Do you know a site where I can get it?!
