Green apple and melon aromas from the 45% polishing ratio ginjo sit alongside a clear rice sweetness and umami. The SMV of +7 suggests dryness, but the low acidity of 1.2 softens the palate and gives a gently sweet, full-bodied impression.

About

A refreshing aroma, with notes of young green apple and Prince melon. The rice-derived sweetness stands out, an exquisite sweetness and aroma characteristic of a rice polishing ratio of 45%. The elements come together in a very well-balanced state. On the palate, acidity is low and the sake is clean with little off-flavor. A faint bitterness that brings out the sweetness of the rice can be sensed. In the middle, a supple acidity emerges. On the finish, a moderate bitterness and astringency appear, highlighting the sweetness of the rice that remains the main character.
