Tedorigawa Junmai Yamahai "Silver Mountain"

Elegant, precise, and earthy. Fantastic at any temperature. Absolutely one of my favorite yamahais and the door into yamahai for daiginjo fans.  Mineral, very mild, vaguely earthy at first with a fresh hit of creamy banana whip-- but gets rounder and earthier as it ages.  Straw, molasses, honey whole wheat bread, banana chip, untoasted oak and mesquite chips, acorns, buckwheat, brown rice, flint, earth. Extremely well integrated acidity, a truly subtle and profound balance. A drawn-out ricey savoriness.
