The 50% polishing ratio, daiginjo style and description of soft ginjo aroma that swells on the palate point to a high aroma. SMV +4 with low acidity of 1.3 suggests a gentle, mildly sweet and fairly light body, placing it in the kun quadrant.

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

About

A daiginjo marked by a harmony of moist, softly fragrant ginjo aroma and gentle sweetness. The aroma that rises from the nose is of course present, but the depth of ginjo aroma that swells further on the palate is especially distinctive of our house yeast. Rather than crisp and sharp, its soft and mellow character makes it a food sake that quietly accompanies a meal.
