1990 Daishichi Ginjo Koshu

A junmai daiginjo from this Fukushima outfit, cold-aged in tank, bottled in October of 2006. Semaibuai 40%, 15% abv. Fascinating, elegant sake. The colour, first of all, is simply not tinged with age, clearly suggestive of cold storage. But aromatically and flavourwise, it is anything but. Rich, tangy, strong wood spice notes, wet bark, mushroom, yet light and fresh, creamy and round yet ethereal. Simply a tremendous sake experience.
