A 70% polished junmai with low acidity of 1.3 and SMV +4 points to a restrained, rice-led aroma and a full body. The description of rich koku in a dry style with gentle natural sweetness places it in the jun quadrant.

About

A rounded aroma reminiscent of freshly cooked rice, together with a gentle sweetness derived from the raw materials, pairs surprisingly well with side dishes that make you want to eat rice, such as mirin-dried horse mackerel (aji no mirinboshi) and miso-simmered mackerel (saba no misoni).
