Flavor profile Kun-shu
Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The 40% polishing ratio of this daiginjo and the description of a concentrated aroma point to high aromatics. The genshu strength at 17.8% adds some richness, but SMV +5 and low acidity of 1.2 suggest a fairly light body with restrained sweetness.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Koshitanrei rice polished to 40%, producing an unfiltered nama genshu (unpasteurized, undiluted sake) made only from the drops that fall naturally from the sake press. The sake's natural aroma, free of off-notes, is concentrated in every drop. Limited to 400 bottles and released once a year by the brewery, this is a special bottling that can only be enjoyed locally.
