SMV +20 and the description of an ultra-dry, smooth finish with crisp acidity point to very low sweetness, restrained aroma and a light body. The 60% polishing and the deep koku note add some richness, placing it near the boundary between so and jun.

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

A refined smoothness as it goes down the throat. Refreshing acidity and deep richness.
