Iwanoi

Iwanoi is the flagship of Iwase Shuzo, a brewery founded in 1723 in Onjuku on the Boso Peninsula of Chiba Prefecture, drawing on one of Japan's hardest brewing waters at roughly 240 degrees of hardness from mineral-rich shell-layer aquifers. The brewery practices yamahaimoto fermentation for a significant share of its output, and its yamahai junmai daiginjo scored 95 points in the Japanese equivalent of the Parker point scale in 2017, ranking second among 800 entries.

Not your typical JDG! Very little aroma. Yamahai forward flavor, lactic, almonds, salinity, but lively with JDG cleanness in the mouth. Would be great for pairing with all sorts of foods.
