The 8% alcohol and the sharp acidity with a rounded finish described in the text point to a light, crisp profile with restrained aroma. The 60% polish and junmai style add some body, so it sits near the so quadrant with low-to-moderate sweetness.

About

Is this sake, or is it wine? Served well chilled, its crisp acidity spreads sharply across the palate, perfectly balanced by a smooth, round body. Set at an alcohol level of 8%, lower than typical sake, this Junmai (pure rice) sake has a freshness and body that belie its classification.
