Take no Tsuyu Junmai [1 Koku - 73]

takenotsuyu
"Bamboo Dew" or "Bamboo tears", from Yamagata Prefecture. Miyama Nishiki rice milled to 60%, SMV +2, acidity 1.4, amino acidity 1.2, and pretty low alcohol, only 14.5%. Good body, full-on springwater with a cleansing bitterness around the edges, and very light-feeling finish. Whatever the translation, I think the name perfect.
