Another day, another storm, another set of rewards for cleaning up.
Wakatsuru Junmai Ginjo (L) - from Wakatsuru Shuzo in Toyama Prefecture. Wakai Tsuru... young crane. Yamada Nishiki milled to 55%, SMV +3, acidity 1.4, 16% abv. Maybe it's because this was nearly ice cold, this came across as silky smooth to the point of roundness, very clean, nice simple rice flavour. Hit the spot.
Kosui Shizenjo Seikai Tokubetsu Junmai (R) - from Tochigi Prefecture's Watanabe Sahei Shoten, this is substantially different from their junmai ginjo - for one, no strawberries! Gohyakumangoku and Asahi no Yume milled to 60%, SMV +2, acidity 1.8, 15.5% abv. Very yellow, looks muroka, tastes very full and savoury, nutty, but finishes relatively mildly. And what a mouthful that name is!
"Now back to work, you!" Supervision is hard work... might need to get another drink in, just to cope.

Where are you picking up these cup sakes? In New Jersey?
ReplyDeleteAstor Wines in NYC has about 8 different ones, I picked these up just a couple of weeks ago.
