Yamahai brewing, acidity of 1.6, and the description of a rustic, acid-driven taste point to a full, umami-rich body. The 50% polishing ratio and junmai daiginjo grade suggest moderate aroma, while SMV 0 to 3 and the slightly dry description keep sweetness low.

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

About

Carefully brewed using the traditional yamahai method (a traditional starter method that relies on naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria). Slightly dry, with pronounced acidity and a rustic, wild character.
