The description's dry, fruity aroma and crisp finish agree with the 55% polishing ratio and SMV +4 to +5, pointing to a ginjo-style aroma with a light body and low sweetness. Acidity of 1.2 is on the soft side, so the palate feels gentle rather than sharp.

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

About

Made with only Yamada Nishiki (a sake rice variety) polished to a rice polishing ratio of 55%, this dry junmai ginjo is brewed and fermented slowly at low temperature to draw out a fruity aroma and a clean, well-defined finish. It pairs exceptionally well with fish dishes, especially sashimi and sushi.
