I bought this on the beautiful Miyajima Island in Hiroshima where the Miyajima shrine and Torii are (one of the top 10 beautiful scenery spots in Japan for anyone who's interested).Area : Japan > Hiroshima > Miyajima

It's a soft, full bodied sake that feels "pillowy" in the mouth and a very light pale golden hue in the glass.
Flowery, fruity and perfumey omn the nose and palate with hints of white chocolate.
It has a Nihonshudo of +5 so is very dry and a Sando of 1,2 which is the acidy rating, but not sure what the numbers mean I'm afraid.
It has an almost powdery aftertaste on the roof of the mouth.
I had this cold and it's very drinkable. A good quality sake from Hiroshima.
