Suigei 'drunken Whale' Tokubetsu Junmai

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 isfor the serious sake drinkerand we agree. It is very dry throughout the mouth and ends in aHe-Mansort of finish. Nevertheless there is a strong presence of fennel and hops underscored by an unripe strawberry vein. It is extremely clean in viscosity and texture and flavorful enough to drink all night!
