The genshu nama junmai at 17% alcohol, plus the bottle-aged depth described in the text, points to a fuller, rice-driven body, while the fizzy freshness keeps it lively. Aroma stays restrained, and sweetness is modest with a clean, fresh character.

About

At first, the sake offers the lively, effervescent freshness characteristic of freshly pressed sake. As it is stored, it ages in the bottle and develops a deeper, mellower flavor. Two distinct tastes can be enjoyed, one for each stage.
