So-shu — clean and light
A 55% polishing ratio, SMV 0, and 100% Miyamanishiki point to restrained aroma, while the description's gentle, light character and clean rice sweetness place it in the so quadrant. The genshu strength adds moderate richness without making the body heavy.

About
A standard release that showcases the clear, refined character of Miyama Nishiki, the sake rice representative of the Tohoku region. The rice is milled using a distinctive method called henpei seimai (flat polishing), which brings out the nature of the rice while giving the sake a light, buoyant character. "Lapis" serves as a "fixed-point observation" work that expresses the basic flavor profile of Aramasa. Made with 100% Miyama Nishiki, this is a sake of junmai-class quality. While No6 is a namazake, the Colors series is pasteurized, resulting in a mild sake that pairs well with food. Commonly known as "Lapis."
