Funaki Shuzo
Kitanosho Daigin-Nozomi Junmaidaiginjo Sake
Fukui, Japan
Umami and rich. Not exactly my kind of saké. Could use with a little more fruit and acidity. Smells like sesame oil, musk melon, and had a sort of rich earthiness (not mushrooms though). Palate sits heavy on the tongue. Mellow and smooth. Umami, spicy, bitter grapefruit-driven finish. The alcohol does give it quite a bit of warmth. Undeniably long. Solid, but as mentioned, not to my taste.
