Shirakawago

Two bottles from last Saturday - I now know that the brewery name is Miwa Shuzo.

On the right:

Shirakawago Sasanigori Junmai Ginjo Nigori: Gohyakumangoku milled to 60%, SMV ±0, acidity 1.2, amino acidity 1.8. Surprisingly dry, lightly textured, but not quite usu. Straightforward, rice, vanilla cream, spring water, nice bitter finish.

On the left:

Shirakawago Junmai Nigori: Kinuhikari milled to 70%, SMV -25, acidity 2.0, amino acidity 1.8. Thick like porridge, much more raw. Sweet, yes, but again, not intensely so. This is like rice pudding without the chunkiness, with an alcoholic edge.
