Izumibashi Black Dragonfly “Kurotonbo” Kimoto Junmai. This is Kimoto style sake which if I understand correctly refers to how they prepare the Koji mold. Color has a slight yellow tint, less than straw-like. I get almost nothing on the nose. The weight is slightly heavier than water and I’m guessing +2 but I don’t have this calibrated yet. Slight bitterness on the palate as it warms, was what I would call sweet initially. Finish lingers for a long time. Will be interesting to hear the pro comments. Not sure on the rice.
