Fukunishiki Junmai [1 Koku - 58]

fukunishikiFukunishiki Junmai, from Kasai-shi in Hyogo Prefecture. "Pleasure of Autumnal Colours"? Not much info on this sake on the bottle (15.5% abv) or at the website (looks like a different label for the export market too). Nonetheless, I'm drawn to the simple but bold graphic. This and the Kenbishi just sort of strike me.

Rich, fruity rich nose. Round, full, savoury, smooth, with a clean, dry and lingeringly acidic finish A good dose of umami, nutty, and some beef tea trailing. So, yeah, it goes savoury, clean, and then after a while, savoury again. If I had to guess, I'd say SMV is on the low side, say, +2, and acidity and amino acidity on the high side. I could be terribly wrong.
