Is this white wine I am drinking? With SMV -22 I was expecting sweet sake. Type: yamahai junmai ginjo, rice: Akita sake Komachi, polishing rate: koji rice 50% kake rice 60%, SMV: -22, acidity: 5.2, yeast: no. 77, alc.: 14% Mild aroma of koji. I didn't smell ginjo aroma. Flavor is sour, very sour. I couldn't feel any sweetness. White koji (citric acid) + yeast no.77 (malic acid) + yamahai (lactic acid) = a lot of acid The brewery is very old, 535 years. The third oldest brewery in Japan.
