A sake meter value of -4 and low acidity of 1.4 point to a clearly sweet profile, and the 70% polishing with 16% alcohol gives a full, rich body. The aroma is complex, with nut, caramel and pickle notes rather than fruit, so it sits in the restrained-rich jun style.

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

About

Enjoy a pleasing, refined sweetness. A complex aroma suggests nuts, caramel, and pickled vegetables. The full, rounded sweetness and body of the rice spread across the palate, and acidity tightens the finish.
