Suminoe Gin
clear and colorless
A mild, well polished rice aroma with a slight hint of beeswax and cheese-like ripeness.
Firm sweetness in the attack.
Mild acidity.
An elegant bitterness with a broad and persistent taste develops slowly.
The texture is full but not dense, and it flows easily in spite of the well-balanced flavor.
Suminoe Aged Juntai
This is a 2-3 year old junmai, priced at around 5,000 yen, and is a very common product design.
On the other hand, the acidity and bitterness have been reduced to a smooth mouthfeel, and you can enjoy the benefits of aging for this long.
This is an interesting bottle that goes one step further than the typical short term ice temperature aged sake.
