So-shu — clean and light

About
Made with Hattan Nishiki rice, with the koji rice polished to 60% and the kake rice to 65% (rice polishing ratio), this junmai sake is shaped for a natural dryness rather than a sharp, cutting one. Its balance of acidity and umami gives it a harmonious character. This dry junmai sake has a subtle ginjo aroma and a smooth, light texture, with a clean and gentle umami that spreads across the palate. This restrained, clean-finishing sake reflects what president Aihara seeks: a food sake that never becomes tiresome and enhances a wide range of dishes. It can be enjoyed chilled or warmed (kan).
