The specs (special junmai, 60% polishing, SMV +3, acidity 1.5) suggest restrained aroma and moderate dryness, while the described aged umami and crisp finish point to a fuller body. This places it in the jun quadrant.

About

Aged for one to two years, this sake gently draws out the inherent umami (旨味) of the rice. It has a clean finish and pairs well with a wide range of dishes. Served warmed (kan), it lets the rice's umami blend more fully into the food.
