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

Category - Junmai Daiginjo

Rice variety - Bizen Omachi
Yeast variety - Association No. 901
Alcohol - 16.0%

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. — 6 months ago
