Jikin Junmai Ginjo Senbon Nishiki Hi-ire The first sip from the ice temperature is gentle, cappery, thick, and gorgeous. It has a nice aroma with a hint of milky rice. In the bowl, it is a little smoother and rounder than last time, with a gentle and cute acidity on the tongue and a slight bitterness, and I like the same balance of umami and sweetness. I think it's probably a little different every year, but the direction is the same, so I can't compare the detailed nuances. However, this year also has a pleasant medium-bodied feel. The sweet and sour taste that extends from the medium size to the smooth and clean, acidic and umami taste is also transparent. After all, Senbon-Nishiki is delicious with its cute acidity! I like Senbon-Nishiki and Hachitan-Nishiki, though they are relatively calm. Thanks again!
