So-shu — clean and light
The SMV of +7 and the description of a clear, crisp finish point to a light, dry profile with restrained aroma and little sweetness. The 65% polishing of Miyamanishiki supports a clean rice character, placing it in the so (crisp) quadrant.

About
We have deliberately not displayed a special designation (tokutei meisho) on the label. This Karakuchi Kawanakajima uses Miyama Nishiki sake rice polished to 65%, and is brewed to the standard of Tokubetsu Honjozo. With a sake meter value of +7, it offers a clear, crisp flavor and a clean, smooth finish, making it a good match for many kinds of food. It is especially good with Japanese cuisine. Try a sip after kanpachi (amberjack) sashimi or shime saba (vinegar-cured mackerel), and its flavor stands out. You can drink a sake like this at this price. If you would otherwise settle for a pack sake from the supermarket, this is the one to choose. We are confident of that.
