Mura Mura "River" Junmai Ginjo


Mura Mura is a line of sake produced for Total Wines by Forest Grove, Oregon's Saké One. Neither website provides much information on this line, but judging from their published tasting notes, it seems as if "River" could be the same sake as the Momokawa Diamond. However, Madam's tasting note gives me pause... I guess I'll have to do a comparative tasting sometime.

The nose had a very creamy, cheesy/leesy profile, with cinnamon notes. Deeply chilled, the entry was off-dry, rice pudding with a healthy dose of cinnamon. The alcohol, only 14.8%, poked out a fair bit, getting more disjointed as it warmed up. Still, it was ok, certainly a standard deviation or two better than the usual suspects.
