Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The 45% polishing ratio, SMV +2 and acidity 1.6, together with the description of fruity aroma and extracted rice umami, point to a fragrant yet light style. I place it as kun with medium sweetness and dryness.

About
Large-grained sake rice is polished to a rice polishing ratio of 45% or less, and long, low-temperature fermentation draws out the umami of the rice. Delicate and fruity in aroma, this is a sake of real value.
