The description's 華やか and 芳醇 wording, plus its genshu 18% nama shiboritate profile, point to an aromatic, full-bodied sake with aroma and richness above the midpoint. SMV +10 leans dry, but the low acidity of 1.4 softens that impression, so sweetness sits in the middle-low range.

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

About

Once the moromi is finished and pressed, the sake is left to rest briefly in the tank in a step called "ori biki" (settling of the lees). Only the clear liquid on top is then scooped off and bottled directly, making this an unfiltered, unadjusted genshu namazake called "Shiboritate." Its alcohol content is high, at 18% or higher, yet it does not feel harsh or heavy.
