The 85% polishing ratio, high koji ratio, and kimoto brewing emphasize umami and acidity, and 17% alcohol adds weight. The description of a sweet-sour, rich profile with restrained aroma points to the jun quadrant.

About

Koji rice accounts for 85% of the rice used, four times the usual proportion. Kimoto (traditional yeast-starter method) brewing further emphasizes umami and acidity. Sweet and tart, yet surprisingly light on the finish. A new-style sake to enjoy for its umami and color. It pairs well with blue cheese, nuts, and spicy ethnic cuisine. It can also be enjoyed as a dessert sake.
