Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The 45% polishing ratio, Kyokai No. 6 yeast and the text's descriptors 鮮やか and 格調高い point to a high aroma. The 13% alcohol and clean, restrained character suggest a light body with moderate, slightly dry-leaning sweetness.

About
Because it is made with finely polished rice, it has a more refined character, and the clean yet powerful presence of Kyokai No. 6 yeast comes through vividly. The brewery aims to recall, across 90 years, the flavor of the funaguchi (the first sake drawn from the press) from the time the No. 6 yeast was born.
