With SMV -1 and acidity 1.4, the sake reads as mildly sweet and soft, while the fourth-stage glutinous rice addition gives a deep, rounded fullness. Its restrained aroma as a non-ginjo special honjozo places it in the jun (rich, restrained) style.

About

This honjozo sake is brewed with a fourth stage in addition to the usual three-stage brewing (sandan jikomi) of the first addition (hatsuzoe), middle addition (nakazoe), and final addition (tomezoe). Glutinous rice is added at this fourth stage. The sake made through Hakushika's signature four-stage brewing (yodan jikomi) has a full, deep flavor with a sense of body.
