The SMV of +1, acidity of 1.4 and the description of a clean, refreshing, slightly dry ginjo point to a light, mildly dry profile with a restrained ginjo aroma. The 60% polishing ratio and junmai style add a modest rice character, placing it in the kun area.

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