The description of deep kokumi and rice umami, together with 55% polishing and a ginjo brew, points to restrained aroma and a slightly full body. An SMV of +3 and low acidity of 1.4 suggest a moderately soft, mildly sweet impression.

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

About

Made with contract-grown sake rice Hida Homare, this junmai ginjo was brewed using ginjo methods in small batches. Its profound richness is held within a soft mouthfeel, and its five flavors come together in harmony. Rather than seeking flashiness, we aimed for an elegant, straightforward junmai ginjo, and this is a product we are confident in.
