The 35% polished junmai daiginjo is described as having a prominent ginkō aroma, and the blend with ice-aged sake and the powerful finish add weight. SMV +5 and acidity 1.5 suggest a fairly dry, medium-full profile.

About

A Junmai Daiginjo made with Yamada Nishiki rice polished to a 35% rice polishing ratio, blended with sake that was aged for one to two years at 0°C or below using hyaon (ice-temperature aging). Its outstanding ginko aroma (吟香) and crisp, powerful finish are its pride, making it a fine sake worthy of the name Kantsubaki, the winter camellia.
