Flavor profile Kun-shu
Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The brewery text describes a fine, soft aroma and a light, clean finish, and the 40% polishing ratio of this daiginjo supports a fragrant, light profile. The low acidity of 1.2 combined with an SMV of +3 suggests a mildly soft, slightly sweet impression rather than a sharp one.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Every step, from rice washing and koji (rice inoculated with mold) making to mash preparation, is done almost entirely by hand. The brewing period is also twice the usual length, with fermentation carried out slowly at low temperature over an extended time. This is a bottle made with patience and care, without sparing effort or time. It offers a fine, soft aroma that rises gently, and a crisp, clean drinking experience like pure water. It is a light, delicate daiginjo in the tanrei (light and delicate) style.
