New Sake Review...

Tozai Nigori "Voices in the Mist" Junmai

Saionji-dono's boss bought this.

The label says citrus, banana, dry. It's pretty damned dry. It's definitely got a banana character. I'm not sure about the citrus, but I've been drinking wine and mead.

I'm not sure this is a keeper for me. It's very good, but I'm not a big fan of banana.

My mental taste buds are having an awful hard time pairing 'banana' and 'dry.'

I wasn't getting the fruit so much as an interesting anise note. Not bad at all.
