Mizuho Junmai Sake
After the last bit sits in the glass it gains this beef jerky, summer sausage like savory note.

Kenbishi Mizuno sake. Yamahai moto. Bottling date 2021.10.14.
I understand this to be a blend of 1-7 year old sake with an average age of three years. It is assembled by tasting different lots of sake and blending for consistency of style year after year.
Nose banana peel, cherimoya, aldehyde like Manzanilla pasada
Palate rich, complex, long balanced. I don't feel the elevated acid expected with an aged sake.
Finish shows a hint of almost H2S character that morphs into cassia/cinnamon.
Very long, pleasant finish — 3 years ago
