Ginban 50 Junmai Daiginjo [1 Koku - 69]

From Toyama Prefecture's Ginban Shuzo. Yamada Nishiki rice milled to 50%, SMV +5, acidity 1.2, and 15.5% abv. A ricey, marigold nose. Floral. Sweetish entry, rich (not very light), rather earthy when very chilled, a bit awkward. More balanced as it warms up, but before room temperature. Fairly bitter and peppery on the finish, slightly anaesthetising. Some wood spice, a little savoury. Not very mizumitai, which was really what I hoping for.
