The yamahai brewing and the described umami and acidity point to a full, mature body, while the 50% polish and daiginjo grade add moderate aroma. An SMV of +2 with acidity of 1.4 suggests a fairly dry, softly balanced sweetness.

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

About

Gathering around a campfire with friends in the great outdoors and sharing sake together can deepen our sense of connection with others and with nature. Perhaps the desire for such moments is part of human instinct. Snow Peak, which has created new occasions connecting people and nature, and Asahi Shuzo, which has been nurtured by the blessings of nature and has walked alongside it, propose a new culture of enjoying sake outdoors. This sake is characterized by a finely balanced, deep flavor made with a Yamahai (traditional method of making the yeast starter) process, and it pairs well with bold, rustic outdoor cooking. It can be enjoyed at temperatures suited to the season and personal preference. When chilled, its sharp, light umami and acidity stand out; when warmed, the sweetness and acidity it inherently holds become rounder and mellower. Please enjoy it while gathered around a campfire. ※Koji rice: Gohyakumangoku 50% / Kake rice (rice added during fermentation): Niigata Prefecture-grown rice 33%
