So-shu — clean and light
A 60% polish, SMV +5, low acidity of 1.1 and 14% alcohol, together with the text's light and clean finish, point to a restrained, light profile with subdued aroma and a mildly dry, low-sweetness impression.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Served chilled, it has a tight, crisp character, while warmed (kan) it opens up with a fuller, rounder flavor. The finish is light and clean, making it a versatile sake that suits any way of drinking.
