The junmai ginjo nigori with 55% polishing, SMV -3, and the description's emphasis on umami, koku and clean sweetness point to a moderate aroma, a rich full body and clearly noticeable sweetness.

About

It has a clean finish and a fairly crisp aftertaste. It can be enjoyed chilled or warmed (kan). When warmed, the sweetness that spreads softly across the palate becomes more pronounced. Other recommended ways to drink it include warimizu-kan (warming the sake after diluting it with water) and tansan-wari (mixing with carbonated water) for a crisper taste. From the 2021 brewing year (2021BY, the brewery year running from July to June) onward, the sake was updated from the previous Junmai Nigori to Junmai Ginjo Nigori, and its packaging has also been refreshed.
