An SMV of -7 to -4 and residual CO2 point to a clearly sweet, lively palate, while the 65% polishing and junmai base suggest restrained aroma. Juicy umami balanced by malic acidity keeps the body medium-light, placing it in the so quadrant.

About

A sweet junmai sake made with Haenuki, a brand rice grown in Yamagata Prefecture. Brewed with Kyokai No. 10-series yeast and yodan jikomi (four-stage brewing), a method not normally used, it offers juicy umami while remaining crisp and light on the palate. As a junmai sake in Eikofuji's Origarami series, it is positioned as an important release in the "Hatsuharu no Ichi" line, characterized by a sense of gas. Within Eikofuji's Muroka Nama Genshu series, this sweet sake consistently registers a markedly negative sake meter value (SMV). Its acidity is centered on malic acid, and residual carbon dioxide from the moromi (fermentation mash) gives it a lightness that is hard to expect from its SMV alone. It pairs well with meals and makes it easy to go on to a second cup. This may differ from other breweries, but Eikofuji defines origarami as sake in which powdered sake rice remains, and distinguishes it from nigorizake, which contains fragments or grains of sake rice. This sake must always be refrigerated and stored upright; laying the bottle on its side is strictly prohibited. Shaking the bottle before opening may cause it to overflow or the cap to blow off, so please take sufficient care. We hope you enjoy the distinctive character of origarami. [Note to translator: the Japanese source uses the variant 榮光冨士 in the summary; it has been rendered as Eikofuji.]
