The fresh, banana-like aroma and 60% polishing of this junmai ginjo point to high aroma, while the origarami texture, soft smooth palate and rice umami suggest moderate richness and gentle sweetness.

About

This Junmai Ginjo is bottled straight after pressing, with the lees (sediment) left in, a style known as origarami (lees-included sake). A gentle, pleasant prickle from lingering carbon dioxide and a fresh aroma reminiscent of young bananas stand out. Soft and smooth on the palate, it also holds the umami of the rice, resulting in a well-balanced finish. The label, by ink-wash painting artist CHiNPAN, is inspired by the scenery of the Seto Inland Sea.
