Junmai at 70% polishing with high acidity (4.1) and a very negative SMV (-58) suggest a restrained, rice- and koji-led aroma, a full body and a clearly sweet impression.

About

Tsuchida99 is a sake that lets you experience how the amount of koji dramatically changes the character of the sake. The focus is on koji-making time (seikiku jikan). This release has a koji-making time of 45 hours. You may wonder whether differences in koji-making time can really change the flavor. However, this sake may point to an important factor in sake that has never appeared even in textbooks. We hope you will be present at the moment a new page of history is opened.
