The SMV of +2, acidity of 2.0, and 16% genshu, together with the description's emphasis on umami and a pleasant aroma, suggest a gently aromatic profile with a rich, umami-driven body. Sweetness stays moderate and restrained.

About

This sake is made entirely with Shizuku Hime, a sake rice grown only in Ehime Prefecture. Thanks to the close proximity of mountains and the sea, the brewery draws up ultra-soft, gentle groundwater for brewing. The result is a junmai ginjo in which the umami of the rice can be savored, with a pleasant, aromatic character.
