ststSince I was also visiting Kyoto, I had a second glass of "Ginshari", a Kyoto sake.
The aroma is faintly muscat-like.
The mouthfeel is refreshing...but then the mellow sweet, sour, and astringent taste like grapes spread out in a sizzle.
The difference between the naming and the taste was a betrayal in a good sense!
The slight chilliness of the gas also gives the wine a freshness👍.
