Yamahai brewing and 70% polishing point to a restrained, rice-driven aroma with a full umami body, which the description highlights as well suited to warming. The 14% alcohol keeps the richness moderate, placing it in the jun quadrant.

About

Yamahai (a traditional starter method that relies on naturally occurring lactic acid) brewed sake. Best suited to warming (kan). Its alcohol content of 14% is somewhat low, yet the umami of yamahai brewing is present in a way that does not make the lower strength noticeable.
