The 55% junmai ginjo with genshu at 17% and SMV -2 points to a dense, slightly sweet body, and the described hiyaoroshi aging adds mellow maturity. Its moderate, aged aroma places it in the juku quadrant.

About

Hiyaoroshi (autumn-matured sake) is sake that is pressed in early spring, stored, and matured through the summer, becoming rounded and deeply flavorful. Sake left to mature slowly until autumn is bottled as genshu (undiluted sake). The rich body of an undiluted sake, combined with the mellow flavor of sake matured through autumn, pairs exceptionally well with autumn seasonal foods such as Pacific saury (sanma). Sales period: September to December

Sold from September to December
