Ohmine 3 Grain "Dewasansan"

The nose on this great looking bottle of sake is a cool collection of cantaloupe, SweeTart, nougat, cream puff, parsley, orange, cucumber, and mochi aromas. This Ohmine uses another excellent Yamagata rice varietal called Dewasansan, which glides through the palate with that little Ohmine tingle and gentle spritz. Medium-bodied, wine-like, clean, smooth, silky, bright, and an off-dry finish, this version of Dewasansan is lightly pasteurized instead of the dark bottle Nama (unpasteurized) that we were first introduced to. And guess what? We like it better. Look for pineapple, green apple, pear, melon, Marshmallow Fluff, rock sugar, and lemon flavors that make this one of the least sweet and brightest Ohmine yet! Welcome to the Sake Hood Dewasansan. You are a different version of Ohmine that is totally worth a visit! WORD: Bright WINE: Zesty Reds/Bright Whites BEER: Crisp Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, crab, lobster, shrimp, oysters with lemon, Yakitori, grilled white fish, cheese plates, salumi plates, picnic foods, salads, and bright pastas.

From the brewery Ohmine Shuzo via Google Translate:

Using domestic Yamaguchi-grown Dewasansan rice polished to 50%, this sake brings out the sharpness of the sake rice and pursues balance. It has an elegant aroma reminiscent of fresh pairs. The refreshing acidity and slight grapefruit bitterness are harmonized with muscat, muskmelon, and minerals, leaving a light and pleasant finish.
