So-shu — clean and light
The 55% polishing and junmai ginjo label point to a restrained yet clean aroma, and the text's tight fragrance and light finish confirm it. SMV +3 with low acidity (1.1) gives a soft, mildly sweet impression with moderate, gentle richness.

About
This sake is characterized by a mild richness with a slight acidity, and a light, smooth flow that finishes with a clean, crisp edge. Although it is a Junmai Ginjo, it is also well suited to being served warmed (kan), and its tightly composed aroma becomes fuller as it warms.
