Flavor profile Kun-shu
Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The 60% polishing ratio, 15% alcohol and the description of a gentle ginjo-style aroma with a fresh, sweet-sour taste point to a light, mildly aromatic profile with moderate sweetness. Blending keeps the aroma subdued, placing it in the kun quadrant.

About
Ginjo aroma, which without sweetness does not stand out and is instead perceived as bitterness, is kept extremely gentle here because the sake is also blended. The sake is pressed in the same period and then blended right away, and pasteurization, bottling, and refrigerated storage are completed as quickly as possible. This seals in a clean aroma and a gently sweet-tart, cute flavor while it is still fresh in the bottle. Of course, it is a matter of personal taste, but a small splash of carbonated water adds extra fizz, and chilling it thoroughly in the refrigerator or serving it on the rocks are also recommended.
