Sake Monogatari Aki-agari Ginjo Hiyaoroshi

One more souvenir from Osaka Prefecture's Mukune, a singly-pasteurised brew, and the first batch of fall-release sake. Gohyakumangoku and Nihonbare milled to 60%, SMV +3, acidity 1.6, 17.5% abv. Floral nose with darker wood and sour roast rice notes. Moderately big and round on the entry, caramel and wood spice on the mid, followed by sharp acidity and assertively dry finish. This is all transitional, bold and lovely for a cool autumn evening.
