The 55% polishing ratio of this junmai ginjo points to a fruity aroma, while the high acidity of 2.3 and the sweet-sour, citrus-like taste in the description add fullness and moderate sweetness.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.

About

The rice, rice polishing ratio, and yeast are the same as in Pure Black. The only difference is the koji mold. Its sweet and sour taste, like a first kiss, comes from citric acid, which is found abundantly in citrus fruits such as lemons. It is brewed only when there is spare stock of Pure Black, so no release date has been set. If you come across it in a shop, be sure to buy it.
