Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The 60% polishing ratio and ginjo-style aroma suggest a moderate fruity-floral lift, while the genshu bottling gives some concentration. The 12% alcohol and the description's すっきり wording point to a light, clean body with a dry-leaning sweetness and gentle rice umami.

About
A junmai ginjo genshu made with Gohyakumangoku sake rice, with an alcohol content of 12%, well suited to summer. Although the alcohol content is low, it is finished as a genshu (undiluted sake), so within its clean, easy drinkability the umami of the rice can still be sensed. Its balance is its defining feature. This is an undiluted sake meant to be chilled well and enjoyed cool on hot summer days. The idea is expressed in the name "Cool Down Straight" and in the label, which evokes the sea.
