SMV 6 to 8, acidity 1.6 and the dry, sharp finish described point to a clean, low-sweetness profile. The lingering aroma is modest and the 60% polished rice adds some body, placing it in the restrained, light range.

About

Long ago, the sea off Mashike (増毛) was filled with herring fishing, and the area was known as Sengoku Basho (千石場所). The name is taken from the lively days of that era. Made with Gohyakumangoku, a sake rice, polished to a 60% rice polishing ratio, this is a high-quality sake. It is a dry sake with a rich aroma that lingers on the palate and a clean finish. It has won a gold award at the KAN SAKE AWARD, and it is recommended not only chilled but also warmed (kan).
