Furosen Yamahai Junmai Ginjo Wataribune Muroka Nama Genshu Sake from Uehara Shuzo
12 years ago
7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Cup at Kunitaya, one aged from the bottle, one fresh from a cask. The fresh one was very yellow and cloudy with a big rice nose, caramel and cream, some acid. Very grainy flavor, raw, sweet, vanilla and melon. Young and unrefined. The aged one was superior, very smooth, nicely acidic, less grainy. Rating for the bottled, properly aged version.
