Flavor profile So-shu
So-shu — clean and light
The SMV of +5, acidity of 1.4 and the text describing a crisp, tightly defined dry style point to a restrained aroma, a light body and a dry finish. The mention of a rich, fermented character from hard water adds some weight to the richness score.

About
Sake from Nada is known as "otoko-zake" (men's sake), in contrast to the "onna-zake" (women's sake) of Fushimi, and has long been renowned as a representative of dry sake. Brewed with hard water (kosui) and a short moromi (fermentation mash) in which fermentation is driven vigorously, it is characterized by a rich (houbi) flavor. Kiritto Karakuchi carries on the qualities of Nada sake and is a mainstream dry sake.
