This junmai ginjo is polished to 50% with an SMV of +2 and acidity of 1.5, and the text describes balanced sweetness, acidity and a mature character. That points to a restrained-to-moderate aroma, a rounded medium-full body, and mid-level sweetness that opens up when warmed.

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

About

Delicate yet firmly structured, with a clear sense of acidity and sweetness, and a pleasant feeling of gentle aging. The name reflects the wish that this sake be enjoyed slightly warmed, from nurukan (lukewarm sake) to hitohadakan (sake warmed to body temperature).
