The brewery text describes a restrained aroma, a umami-forward and mellow palate, and a crisp finish, which fits the spec of a 40% polished junmai daiginjo nama. Acidity of 1.2 and SMV of 0 give a soft, slightly sweet impression, so it sits in the restrained, rich quadrant.

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

About

This is a junmai daiginjo namazake (unpasteurized) that offers the fresh flavor of sake pressed just before bottling. The refined umami characteristic of Omachi rice is beautifully balanced with a mellow aroma on the palate, and the finish is clean and crisp. As this is a new sake, it is best not to chill it too much. Serving it slightly cool brings out its mellowness.
