Polished to 35% and described as a junmai daiginjo aged 2.5 years at low temperature with concentrated rice umami, its low acidity of 1.1 points to a fuller, softer body, with an aromatic daiginjo character and a moderately gentle sweetness.

About

Matured at low temperature for two and a half years, this sake has a concentrated umami from the rice. The text on the label is the opening of The Tale of the Heike. The line "Gion Shoja no..." (the Gion Shoja temple bells) is a passage familiar even from classical literature. Limited product, available by reservation only.
