So-shu — clean and light
The description says the brew holds back aroma and gives a rice-forward but clean, gentle palate, which fits the 60% polishing and 16% alcohol. This points to restrained aroma, a light-to-medium body and moderate sweetness.

About
Born as a sake that wishes for the ancient capital of Kyoto to endure for a thousand years. So that it can be easily used by Kyoto ryotei (traditional high-end Japanese restaurants), the sake is designed to restrain its own presence, aiming for a mild flavor that pairs easily with meals. Made with sake rice Yamada Nishiki and Omachi, polished to a rice polishing ratio of 60%. The rice character is rich yet refreshing, and the aroma is kept restrained.
