Flavor profile So-shu
So-shu — clean and light
Junmai with no ginjo-style aroma and a 60% polishing ratio points to restrained aromatics. The 17% genshu strength and umami add some body, while SMV +4 and the refreshing acidity described in the text keep it light, with a touch of sweetness.

About
This Junmai Nama Genshu is a seasonal namazake (unpasteurized sake) and genshu (undiluted sake), available from spring through summer. While still fresh, it has a well-balanced combination of umami, acidity, and sweetness. A crisp acidity serves as an accent that tightens the flavor as a whole, resulting in a light junmai sake that does not tire the palate. Once temperatures rise above 15°C and the weather begins to warm, refrigerated storage is recommended. Enjoy on the rocks or at room temperature.
