Ginjo at 55% polishing with SMV +5 and low acidity of 1.2 gives a soft, gently sweet profile. The banana and apple aroma and Yamada Nishiki umami suggest moderately high aroma and a rounded, umami-led body.

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

About

Aromas of banana and apple, along with the scent of the rice and koji (malted rice). The sweetness is understated and is lifted by acidity, producing a clear umami. Off-flavors are minimal. Sweet umami derived from Yamada Nishiki (sake rice) forms the core, and the overall balance is exquisitely struck. Because Yamada Nishiki is used, a pleasant bitterness accompanied by umami is noticeable in the latter half.
