Flavor profile So-shu
So-shu — clean and light
Low acidity of 1.2, SMV +4 and the described umami and gentle character point to a soft, mild profile. The restrained aroma of a 55% polished special honjozo suggests the so quadrant, with a moderate-to-light sweetness impression.

About
A crisp sake meter value (日本酒度) and umami components give it a gentle, mellow taste. It has a Shizuoka-style character and differs from the other Suginishiki sakes, which are made with kimoto (traditional yeast-starter method) or yamahai (traditional yeast-starter method) starters. From the 2017 brewing year (BY), the yeast was changed from NEW-5 to HD-1.
