The description's emphasis on 淡麗 and balance, together with SMV +2, acidity 1.4 and 14.8% alcohol, points to a light, clean sake with restrained aroma. The moderate sweetness fits a 59% polished special junmai-style honjozo.

About

This sake is at its best at room temperature. Try it with sushi like this beautiful spread. It brings out the flavor of the sushi even more, and before you know it you will find yourself reaching for one more cup.
