Minenohakubai Tokubetsu Junmai [1 Koku - 44]

To celebrate today's tremendous winter storm - white-out conditions if not outright blizzard - Niigata Prefecture's Minenohakubai ("White Plum Blossom") Tokubetsu Junmai, SMV +4, acidity 1.0. A suprisingly full-flavoured and rich example from this region, nutty, grainy, and broad, particularly at room temperature - though, we consumed very little of it this way... no, to the snowbank!
