Hakurei Junmai Ginjo Daikarakuchi

Hakurei Junmai Ginjo Daikarakuchi
From Kyoto Prefecture's Hakurei, located near Amanohashidate on the west coast. Yamada Nishiki grown on the Tango peninsula, milled to 60%, SMV +10, acidity 1.7, and 15.5% abv. Sweet and floral nose, followed by a sweet and savoury entry, medium bodied, starchy and unsurprisingly, very dry, leaving a long, clean, astringent, almost ringing sensation in the mouth. I'm digging this, and the bottle has a pleasantly different shape, with a more elegant but abbreviated neck - I'm enjoying looking at this bottle, and then I'm enjoying drinking the contents. Simple pleasures.
