DrySweet
LightFull

The amber color, toasted almond and spice aromas, and three years of refrigerated aging point to a complex, aged profile in the juku quadrant with moderate aroma. An SMV of -2.5 suggests sweetness, but the dry mid-palate and acidity of 2.3 temper it to a medium level, while the deep koku at 16-17% alcohol gives a rich body.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.

About

This Junmai Ginjo and Junmai sake was aged for three years in refrigerated storage. After the midpoint the flavor turns dry, yet it also has a deep richness.
