Flavor profile So-shu
So-shu — clean and light
The description's restrained aroma and light, crisp finish, along with SMV +3 and acidity 1.5, point to a restrained, light body with a slightly dry profile and moderate umami. The 55% polishing and junmai ginjo label suggest a faint fruity lift, but the text outweighs it.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Enjoy its calm aroma, a clean, approachable palate in the first half that never becomes tiresome, a gentle umami that spreads through the middle, and a clean finish at the end. This sake was brewed with the seafood of the Sea of Japan that lies just behind the brewery in mind. A slightly dry sake, it can be enjoyed lightly chilled or at room temperature alongside a meal for a harmonious pairing.
