Daiginjo-grade 35% polishing combined with extended refrigerated aging points to a mature, moderately aromatic, fuller-bodied profile. SMV +3 and acidity 1.35 keep it moderately dry with a soft, rounded finish.

About

Each year, a small portion is set aside from the Isojiman Nakadori Junmai Daiginjo 35 and aged slowly in refrigerated storage. From each year's aged sake, the brewery owner personally selects the one that has reached the highest quality that year and names it "Adagio." However, if the brewery judges that the aging has not reached the standard worthy of Adagio, it withholds that year's release. It is a sake that embodies the brewery's pride.
