The text describes sweet, full umami and deep koku, and the yamahai, muroka, nama genshu specs agree, pointing to a rich, restrained junmai profile. SMV +4 and the 17-18% strength keep the finish clean despite the sweet impression.

About

This sake comes from a brewery that continues to make traditional, full-bodied sake using methods found nowhere else in Japan. These include yamahai (a traditional starter method) brewing with no added yeast, pressing in a wooden tenbin (balance) press, and brewing in wooden vats. Made with Bizen Omachi rice from Okayama Prefecture, polished to 55%, this bottle embodies the brewery's motto of relying only on kuratsuki yeast (brewery-resident yeast) to brew. On the palate, the richness and sweetness of the rice spread through the mouth and leave a strong lingering finish before the sake cleanly fades away. This is its defining character.
