Yamahai brewing, 65% polishing, 16% alcohol and the description of juicy acidity and umami point to a restrained aroma, a full and savory body, and moderately low sweetness.

About

With juicy, wild acidity and a moderate umami that is pleasant to drink, this is a sake the brewery is confident in. It pairs especially well with rich, sweet-and-savory dishes such as grilled eel (unagi no kabayaki), tare-glazed yakitori, braised pork belly, Peking duck, and teriyaki chicken. If you prefer it warmed, jokan (warm, at around 45–50°C) is recommended.
