g-sake

Saw this SakeOne/Momokawa product for the first time, had to give it a shot, as in the past we've enjoyed their "Silver" and "Diamond" sake - "g" is an Oregon junmai ginjo genshu, milled to 60%, SMV +3 and a full 18% abv. It is also described as "roughly filtered", which sounds like it might be like a muroka, but not sure. The website for the company doesn't say so, but "g" does sound a bit like a play on jizake.

Sadly, swish packaging, didn't much care for the contents. Nose was good, creamy, rice tones, a bit of melon and some herbal sharpness, with a slight cheesy funk. The palate though just didn't do it for me... smooth entry, with melon and "green" fruit notes, but almost aggressively dry, with a hot, harsh finish.

All this at room temperature. Will give it another go chilled and see if there's any improvement. Right now though, disappointed.
