So-shu — clean and light
Citric acid from white koji, an acidity of 80, and the described rich sweetness point to a sweet-tart profile with moderate sweetness. Aroma stays restrained, and the juicy yet light finish places it in the so quadrant.

About
White koji is used to produce citric acid, and the resulting tart, sweet-sour flavor is balanced by a rich, full-bodied sweetness. An excellent balance of umami and acidity. Juicy yet light.
