Chugoku Jozo Misen Ginjyo Sake (72cl)

Misen Ginjyo is a sake from Chugoku Jozo, a producer founded in 1918 near Hiroshima. It takes its name from Mount Misen, the highest peak of Miyajima island, a sacred place opposite Hiroshima. It is made from hattan nishiki rice and fermented slowly at a low temperature, using a specific Hiroshima ginjo yeast. It is sold in a 72cl bottle. The nose is delicate, with apple and pear to the fore. The palate is fresh, and it closes with herbal and cereal notes.
