Polished to 40% and described as having more rice umami than the Tokusen, with SMV +5 and acidity 1.6 pointing to a dry-leaning, medium-full profile. The moderate ginjo aroma and rice-driven body place it in the juku quadrant.

About

Water is added to lower the alcohol content. Compared with Tokusen Daiginjo, it has more of the rice's umami. Junmai (made with rice as the only raw material) is sake intended to draw out the umami of the rice.
