An SMV of +13 and low acidity of 1.1 point to a very dry, light profile, and the description of umami carried within a firm dryness suggests restrained aroma with moderate body suited to food.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.

About

Many ordinary dry sakes are merely vaguely dry, but this dry sake has a reassuring dryness that asserts itself within the sake's umami. This honjozo was made as a dry sake with a smooth finish that pairs well with food. As a food sake, it is recommended warmed, either nurukan (lukewarm) or atsukan (hot), as kan refers to warmed sake.
