Kissui Miyanoyuki Junmai [1 Koku - 1]

Kissui Miyanoyuki
From Mie Prefecture's Miyazaki Honten, gohyakumangoku milled to 60%, SMV +2, acidity 1.5, and a mere 14.5% abv. Faintly sweet and earthy nose, with a touch of citrus, but not what one would call aromatic. A bit stiff and reserved on the palate when chilled, but with a light and clean finish, nice acidity. As it warms, a bit of fleshy fruit and light nut elements come into play, while keeping the clean finish. Does become a bit wobbly at room temperature proper, but on the whole a better experience than the last time I came across this. A bit cleaner overall, slightly less temperature sensitive, and quite easy to drink.
