Flavor profile Kun-shu
Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The text describes a restrained aroma with banana and melon notes and a light, crisp finish, and the specs (SMV +4, acidity 1.6, 15% alcohol) support a dry-leaning, light body. The gentle rice sweetness and origarami texture add a little softness, placing it in the kun quadrant with mild aromatic lift.

About
Each year the brewery analyzes and adjusts the flavor profile of its sake, continuing to refine it so that it is cleaner and crisper, and becomes more beautiful as the glass is enjoyed. Keeping to the guiding principle of 'the ultimate food-pairing sake,' the brewery aimed for a light, lively character, suppressing the aroma while expressing the gentle sweetness of the rice. Origarami namazake (a nigori sake with lees left in, not pasteurized after pressing) offers an especially fresh character. Besides refrigerated storage, we ask that you finish the bottle within three months of the production month. Seasonal limited release (shipped December to late January) [Awards] - Oriental Sake Awards 2022, Bronze Award [Flavor] Light, fresh, with a clean finish [Aroma] Banana, melon [Recommended pairings] Seafood in general, shirako (milt), and seri nabe (Japanese parsley hot pot)
