The ripe tropical fruit aroma in the description and the 55% polishing ratio point to a clearly aromatic profile. SMV +1, moderate acidity of 1.5, and a smooth, balanced palate suggest a medium-light body with restrained sweetness.

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

About

Aromas reminiscent of ripe tropical fruit. Well-balanced acidity and umami, with a very smooth mouthfeel. Pairs exceptionally well with Japanese-style dashi soups (wanmono) made with Yaizu katsuobushi, and with delicate seasonal white fish.
