Setchukanbai Junmai Ginjo [1 Koku - 31]

Setchukanbai Junmai Ginjo
"Plum Tree in the Snow", from Gifu Prefecture's Furuta Shuzo. Unfortunately, parts of the website are down, so I'm only able to find limited information on this. I remember having a very choppy conversation with the owner about this sake in November, and could only glean that it was made from a local rice varietal. Nihon-shu-do is +6, and 14.5% abv. Pronounced ginjo nose, floral and sweet, very clean and light on entry, savoury/tangy mid-palate followed by rich, sweet rice and a dry starchy finish. Very easy drinking, this. Too easy...
