Suigei Drunken Whale Tokubetsu Junmai 72CL

This Tokubetsu Junmai is said to be brewed for whales that reside off the Pacific Coast of Kochi Prefecture. The nose is a collection of rose, wood, and grape scents. The brewery advertises that this Junmai is 'for the serious sake drinker' and we agree. It is very dry throughout the mouth, and ends in a He-Man sort of finish. Nevertheless, there is a strong presence of fennel and hops, underscored by an unripe strawberry vein. RPR 55%
