The 40% polish junmai daiginjo with an SMV of -1 and acidity of 1.4 gives a noticeably sweet, soft profile, and the text's juicy character and balanced sweet-acid harmony point to high aroma. Overall it reads as an aromatic, light kun-type sake with some depth.

About

This ambitious brew is the first time Tatenokawa Shuzo has used Miyama Nishiki rice milled to a 40% rice polishing ratio. It has a very good balance of sweetness and acidity, and a juicy character unlike the brewery's other sake. Serve it in a wide-mouthed, thin-walled glass, and enjoy the acidity that spreads slowly across the tongue along with its rich flavor.
