The 50% polishing ratio and the described fruity ginjo aroma point to a highly aromatic profile. An SMV of +1 with moderate acidity of 1.4 suggests a soft, slightly sweet taste, and the noted rice umami gives a medium body that sits near the light side, placing it in kun.

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

About

Made with 100% Yamada Nishiki, the finest sake rice, and Fushimi (伏水), a renowned spring water from Kyoto. The rice is polished to a rice polishing ratio of 50%, then fermented slowly over a long period at a low temperature of 10°C. The result is a Junmai Daiginjo with a fruit-like, fragrant ginjo aroma and the natural umami of rice. Enjoy it slowly on special occasions or over the weekend.
