So-shu — clean and light
The text's clean taste with moderate acidity, together with SMV +2, acidity 1.5 and 70% polishing, points to restrained aroma and a light body. No added sugar and a slightly dry SMV suggest low sweetness.

About
The flagship brand Josen 'Ichinoide' is a Futsushu (ordinary sake) made with Mutenka (no added sugars). Its moderate acidity gives a crisp, clean taste that pairs well with local seafood, especially the white- and blue-fleshed fish of the Bungo Channel (Bungo Suido), such as horse mackerel (aji), mackerel (saba), pufferfish (fugu), rockfish (mebaru), and okoze (stonefish). Enjoy it at room temperature or warmed (kan) as a sake to accompany meals.
Mutenka (no added sugars)
