The 60% polishing ratio, SMV +3 and acidity 1.5, together with the text's "full umami" and "clean finish," point to a restrained aroma, a moderately rich body leaning toward jun, and a dry-leaning, not sweet, profile.

About

In Kashiwazaki, when snow begins to fall, the brewery fills with the steam from rice being steamed. The aroma of the rice as it finishes steaming is an important factor that tells us how the sake will turn out. The brewers put their sharpened senses to work and pour their hearts into every bottle of sake. The simple yet profound flavor of rice is the true pleasure of junmai sake. Each year's harvested raw rice is used to make the most of that year's gifts of nature, just as they are. A special-occasion junmai sake that combines a rich umami with a clean, refreshing finish, and goes down smoothly.
