Sho Chiku Bai Classic Junmai Sake

Rating: 8/23 It has a pretty bland palate but there is some richness with a bit of sweet fruitiness and a hint of tartness. It isn't very exciting, but it's drinkable. Maybe it's better warmed or chilled. It's a bit richer than Gekkeikan Black And Gold, but it's maybe a little bit less balanced. There are some light vegetal notes like squash that fit in well with the fruitiness. It's richer than Ozeki Junmai, but its flavors are less pronounced individually. Ozeki is substantially better. This is a bit earthy and gross. I could drink it, but I'd rather not.

Crushable (better at room temp than chilled) but utterly forgettable
