Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The 40% polished ginjo with a fruity melon and banana aroma described in the text points to high aroma, while SMV +5 and low acidity of 1.2 give a dry-leaning but softly sweet impression. The refined umami and clean finish suggest a light-to-medium body with moderate richness.}

About
Brewed with Kikuhime's ambition and pride as a "super ginjo" sake (chō ginjo) that goes beyond daiginjo. A sweet, gentle aroma reminiscent of melon and banana leads into a crisp, clean palate with a calm, refined umami.
