Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The brewery text describes a high, floral aroma and a round, smooth sweetness, which matches a 35% polished junmai daiginjo with an SMV of -13 and low acidity of 1.35. These point to a strongly aromatic, light-to-medium kun profile with a sweet, muscat-like finish.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
The modoka (retro-nasal aroma), reminiscent of the scent left after eating grapes, lingers for a while as the finish. Recommended to be enjoyed lightly chilled as an aperitif, at 8–15°C.
