Genshu at 17.8% with SMV +2 and acidity 1.6, along with the description's full, sturdy body and balance of sweetness and acidity, points to a rich, slightly sweet profile. Aroma stays restrained, so it sits in the jun quadrant.

About

This sake combines the rustic character of new sake with the robust, full-bodied flavor of an undiluted nama sake. Be sure to enjoy Kokken's classic style in its nama genshu form. Tarekuchi refers to sake that drips from the pressing machine (commonly called the o-ne). This product is bottled to preserve the flavor of the sake exactly as it comes straight from pressing. This is a fresh sake equivalent to what is known as funakuchi (sake drawn directly from the press before any further handling). Please enjoy the balance of freshness, sweetness, and acidity characteristic of nama sake. This is a limited winter release.
