Hakurei "Koda" Tokubetsu Junmai


One more from Kyoto Prefecture's Hakurei, picked up on a day trip to Amanohashidate. Tango Yamada Nishiki, grown under contract for the brewery by local farmers, milled to 70% (60% for the koji, SMV +3, acidity 2.0, and 14.5% abv. Some call the Kyoto style feminine, in reference to the softness and sweetness of the local product. This is that in spades, perfumed, not quite dainty, almost voluptuous, sweet and soft, on the edge of becoming wobbly but just held together, and very, very easy to drink.
