Polished to 58% Omachi, this 17% unfiltered nama genshu is described with strong umami, a mellow, rich profile and a smooth sweetness, so it sits in the restrained, full-bodied jun zone. The text mentions a fragrant finish, which keeps the aroma near neutral rather than strongly fruity.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.

About

Although the rice has been polished to ginjo-grade standards, this is not simply a Tanrei (light and clean), smooth sake. It has a distinct accent in its flavor. It goes down smoothly with a gentle sweetness, and it shows the firm, powerful rice umami characteristic of Omachi, together with a rich, mellow flavor. This Tokubetsu Junmai is an expression of that character. Enjoy the high aroma that lingers on the palate and the depth of its flavor, along with the harmony of the aromas that develop in the mouth.
