Imanishi Junmai Ginjo Asahi.
This is Imanishi, a limited distribution sake from Imanishi Shuzo, which brews Mimuro Sugi. Last year we received the unfiltered raw Junmai Ginjo Asahi, and this year we got the bottle heated and fired.
It is made from Asahi rice grown in Okayama prefecture, which is edible rice but also highly suited for sake brewing.
It has a banana and pear-like nuance on the top nose with a fresh sweetness. The characteristic rich and deep umami, firm bitterness, and beautiful acidity give it a sharp edge. It is a well-balanced and delicious sake!
