Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The 40% polishing and daiginjo designation, along with the described fruity, floral aroma, point to high aroma. The SMV of +5 and the crisp finish suggest a dry-leaning, fairly light body, with umami adding some depth, placing it in the kun quadrant.

About
Inspired by a crane spreading its wings toward Kawatsuru's future, this ultimate daiginjo is the result of pouring every bit of the toji (master brewer)'s skill into the brew. Made with 100% Yamada Nishiki sake rice carefully selected from Hyogo Prefecture, it offers a fruity, fragrant aroma and a smooth, crisp finish on the palate. The umami drawn out by the koji is deep, and a pleasant aftertaste lingers.
