LightFull

A special junmai polished to 60% with SMV +5 and acidity 1.5 points to restrained aroma and a dry-leaning profile. The brewery's description of a rounded flavor that holds its balance when warmed suggests a rich, umami-forward jun-style body.

About

Its defining features are a vivid golden-yellow color, a natural characteristic of sake (yamabuki-iro), and a full, rounded aroma and flavor. The flavor balance also holds up well when the sake is warmed (kan), which is another of its appeals.
