From Yamagata, Japan.
Daiginjo…46 % milling rate…(senmai buai)
Bright water white clear in colour.
Nose of bright cantaloupe musk melon.
Flavours of yellow Asian pear, quince and persimmon…(kaki)
This nihon shu is dry but the most impressive feature is the all encompassing creaminess and mouthfeel.
We had local Albacore tuna sashimi with local Matsutake mushrooms cooked in rice from Hokkaido, Japan. — a month ago
