An SMV of +2 and low acidity of 1.3 suggest a soft, mildly sweet impression, while the description cites rice umami with a clean finish. Aroma stays restrained despite the ginjo-style brewing, placing it in the jun quadrant with moderate body.

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

About

Made with 100% Matsuyama Mitsui rice grown in Danno-ue, Niihama (Danno-ue has long been well known as a production area for brand rice), this junmai sake is produced in Niihama. Brewed using ginjo-zukuri (ginjo-style brewing), the sake has a clean, refreshing character with the natural umami of the rice coming through. It is good served chilled, and a slightly warmed kan (warmed sake) is also recommended.
