An SMV of -20, 17% genshu, and a description of sweetness and body from extra koji and mochi rice point to a very sweet, full-bodied junshu. Aroma stays restrained, with no ginjo attributes and a 65% polishing ratio.

About

This is a sake with a long history, first brewed during the Meiji 20s (1887–1896). Kasu refers to moromi (fermentation mash), and mochi refers to glutinous rice. Sake brewed with koji and glutinous rice in nearly double the usual quantity is the sweetest and has a rich body.
