The 35% polishing ratio and the lily-like aroma described in the text point to a high, fragrant profile. The drip-pressed, clean style at 17% alcohol gives a light, smooth body, and an SMV of 0 with balanced sweet-acid notes places sweetness at a moderate level.

About

Yamada Nishiki sake rice grown exclusively in the Special A district of Hyogo Prefecture is polished to 35% (rice polishing ratio) and fermented slowly at low temperatures. Using the fukurozuri (bag-hanging) technique, the moromi (fermentation mash) is left unpressed, and only the shizuku (drops) that drip naturally are bottled. The result is a refined sake with little off-flavor, a pleasant lily-like aroma on the palate, and a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity.
