The SMV of 10 to 12 and the description of a very dry, crisp palate point to a light body with very little sweetness. The stated fragrant aroma places it slightly on the aromatic side, so it falls in the kun (aromatic, light) category.

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

About

Founded in 1882 (Meiji 15), Kunimare Sake Brewery is the northernmost sake brewery in Japan. It brews this extra-dry sake with clear, cold water drawn from the Shokanbetsu mountain range in the bitterly cold Hokkaido winter. This extra-dry sake is the flagship of Kunimare. Its crisp mouthfeel gives way to a rich, fragrant aroma that lingers pleasantly.
