Tamanohikari Omachi Junmai Daiginjo Sake 1673

This is not my favorite. Surprised it’s a +3.5 but I’m still learning that rating. I would have thought lower but let’s let it warm a bit. I’m getting a bitter taste that I don’t love when chilled. Brand - Tamanohikari
Brewery - Tamanohikari Brewing Company
Category - Junmai Daiginjo
Subcategory - N/A
Taste Profile - Rich & Dry
Rice variety - Bizen Omachi
Yeast variety - Association No. 901
Alcohol - 16.0%
RPR - 50%
SMV - +3.5
Acidity - 1.7

Better with food but still a bitterness I’m not loving. Not getting a lot on the nose. Bitterness on the palate. Long warming finish. Getting more alcohol as it warms.

Bitter taste gone. Bordering on sweet but liking it a lot more. 9.2-9.3
