Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The yamahai-style junmai with high acidity (3.5), unfiltered lees retained, and a description of rich acidity, koku and rice umami all point to a full body. Aroma is restrained at 80% polishing, placing it in the jun quadrant, with moderate dryness from the SMV range of 3 to 7.

About
The brewery is known for its Gonin Musume (Five Daughters) lineup. This junmai sake is carefully brewed using the traditional kimoto method (a traditional yeast-starter method). Alcohol addition has been discontinued. The rice polishing ratio is kept at 80%, preserving the rice's inherent umami. This is an unfiltered Shizenshu (natural sake), retaining its natural amber color and natural sediment. The name "Katori" was taken from the local Katori Jingu (Katori Shrine).
