This sparkling, unpasteurized nigori junmai ginjo with 50% polishing and 15.4% alcohol is described as fizzy and refreshing, with light sweetness balanced by acidity. That points to a moderately aromatic, light-bodied kun-type profile, with the nigori adding some texture.

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

About

The vigorous work of the yeast makes each sip sparkle and burst at the back of the throat, leaving a refreshing sensation that is hard to resist. A light sweetness and gentle acidity come together in a crisp, pleasant flavor. It is like a Japanese-style champagne.
