So-shu — clean and light
The 59% polishing ratio, SMV +1 and the description of a slightly dry, lighter style point to a restrained, rice-led aroma and a clean, light body. Sweetness is low, with a crisp finish that suits food.

About
Slightly dry, with little sweetness. For this brewery, it is a relatively light offering. Aromas recall freshly cooked, fluffy white rice, with a subtle bitter accent from the hard water. On its own it is somewhat austere, but alongside snacks it transforms dramatically. Each sip rinses the palate cleanly, leaving a soft, lingering impression of plain white rice... It creates a curious balance that makes you crave the next side dish or sakana (accompaniments to sake). Both the sake and the rice hold a charm that makes cups pile up pleasantly.
