Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The description's peach and grapefruit-like fruit aroma and light, clean finish, together with 60% polishing, acidity 1.6 and SMV +1, point to a moderately aromatic, light, slightly dry profile. The 17.5% alcohol adds some weight to the rice umami.

About
The soft, fluffy umami of rice comes through clearly, and a sharp citrus-like acidity rounds out the whole with good balance. It makes a lively accent to dishes with sweet sauces, such as simmered fish, yakitori, and roast beef. Its clean, light drinking character makes it easy to enjoy smoothly alongside a meal. Serve chilled (5–10°C) in a variety of glassware.
