From Kikusui Shuzo in Niigata Prefecture. Gohyakumangoku rice milled to 55%, SMV +1, acidity 1.7, and 15% abv. Medium full, floral nose. Not white flowers, more of the gardenia/marigold variety. Rich and round, lightly sweet on entry, but quite clean and quickly moves to lightness. Very nice acidity on the back end, disguising the sweetness, with almost peppery bitter chocolate notes on the finish.
