Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The description's gentle aroma and clean, light finish, together with 50% polishing, SMV +1 and acidity 1.4, point to a moderately fragrant, light and slightly dry profile. The rice umami is present but restrained, placing it in the kun (aromatic and light) quadrant.

About
Made with Yamada Nishiki sake rice, grown both in-house and under contract cultivation, and FK5, a yeast strain independently developed by Fukui Prefecture. Yeast shapes the aroma and flavor of sake. The gentle, banana-like aroma of FK5 seems to echo the earnest, modest character of the people of Fukui. By polishing the rice to a rice polishing ratio of 50%, this sake offers the rich umami of the rice while still delivering a Tanrei (light), clean and refreshing palate.
