The description stresses high, floral aroma and a clean palate, and the daiginjo style with 40% polishing supports this. SMV +1 with low acidity of 1.1 points to a soft, lightly sweet, light-bodied sake.

About

Yamada Nishiki rice grown in the Special A district of Hyogo Prefecture is polished to a rice polishing ratio of 40%, and Kyokai No. 1801 yeast is used. The aroma is high, and the mouthfeel is very clean. It is vibrant yet still true to Hakuro's character, with the umami of the rice coming through. It is a sake we are proud of.
