The honjozo spec of 65% polishing, SMV +7.5 and low acidity 1.2 points to a dry, light profile. The described ginjo-style aroma and refreshing finish lift aroma slightly into the kun range.

About

Carefully selected sake rice is polished to 65% and used for the koji rice and for the first (hazoe) and second (nakazoe) additions of the three-stage brewing (sandan shikomi). For the final addition (tomezoe), Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo Prefecture is used to further enhance the quality of the sake. Enjoy a refreshing finish with a ginjo aroma that comes from careful low-temperature brewing.
