The 50% polishing ratio junmai ginjo, with its fruity ginjo aroma and fresh, nama-like character described in the text, points to high aroma. The mild umami and 16% alcohol keep the body near the light side, placing it in the kun (aromatic and light) quadrant with moderate sweetness.

About

Immediately after pressing, the sake is pasteurized in the bottle with warm-water heating (binkan hiire), then stored in Hyoon Chozo (storage just above freezing). In March 2019, the sake was splendidly renewed and made with 100% Yume Sasara, a sake rice developed by Tochigi Prefecture. It is a standout sake, known for its mild umami, fruity ginjo aroma, and fresh flavors that could be mistaken for namazake.
