Flavor profile Kun-shu
Kun-shu — aromatic and light
Ginjo-grade with 49% polishing and Miyamanishiki rice, plus a description citing a floral aroma and plump umami balanced by clean acidity, points to a fragrant, moderately light profile. Its smooth, refreshing finish suggests a kun-type sake with gentle sweetness.

About
Holding to traditional hand-made methods and their umami, this sake has a full, rounded flavor. True to the style of toji Mariko, it is also very clean in character, with a bright aroma and a high but crisp acidity that makes it pleasant to keep sipping. It is a standout bottle. The smooth, easy drinking quality and refreshing character of this ginjo are wonderful with raw oysters. Slip one down smoothly, then take a sharp sip of this sake, and it is perfect. I simply cannot resist it, and I highly recommend it. Surprisingly, it also pairs remarkably well with Camembert cheese. Please give it a try.
