The special junmai at 60% polishing and 16% alcohol aims to express the rice's character, and the text describes a crisp finish with restrained aroma. This implies modest aroma, mid-level body and a fairly dry-to-balanced sweetness.

About

The flavor fully draws out the character of the rice and pairs well with the brewing water that supports the clean finish of “Hekiun-gura” (碧雲蔵). We believe it is a flavor that will satisfy. [Message from the toji (master brewer)] Kamikawa Taisetsu Sake Brewery’s commitment to Tokubetsu Junmai is rooted in the same devotion it has for the rice. We polish to a rice polishing ratio of 60% because we believe this best reflects the character of the rice. If it is true that nothing can be made better than the ingredients, then we brew under conditions where that individuality shows most clearly. We hope you will try this sake, a new face for Tokachi.
