Takaisami Tokubetsu Junmai [1 Koku - 41]

Takaisami Tokubetsu Junmai from Tottori Prefecture's Otani Shuzo, brewed from the waters of Daisen, which from certain perspectives bears a striking resemblance to Mt. Fuji, with high conic symmetry. Other directions? Not so much.

Yamada Nishiki and Tamasakae milled to 50%, SMV +3, acidity 1.5, #9 yeast, and 15.5% abv. Nose is very clean, with faint rice and melon aromas. On the palate, this enters rich, soft, and full-bodied, toast and butterscotch notes, but transitioning over the mid to something much more mineral-driven, very nice acidity and a cleansing, almost sharp finish. Very tasty.
