Nezumi Otoko Jungin

Nezumi Otoko JunginFrom the slopes of Lake Louise

Nezumi Otoko ("Rat Man") Junmai Ginjo from Tottori Prefecture's Chiyomusubi Shuzo. I guess the folks at Chiyomusubi like their manga, since they've released several such-labeled cup-sake. Nezumi Otoko is a character from GeGeGe no Kitaro, a series that ran from 1959 to 1969! The author, Shigeru Mizuki, lives in Sakaiminato, the brewery's hometown. This brew is Gohyakumangoku milled to 55%, SMV +1.5, acidity 1.4, 16% abv. Surprisingly rich, savoury and full, vegetal touches, quite smooth. Feels just a bit too serious for skiing-sake (hmm... this should be its own category.)
