About
The sake rice, rice polishing ratio, and koji are the same as those used for Pure Black. The only difference is the yeast. Where Pure Black is known for a deliberately restrained aroma, a juicy, citrus-like fruit acidity, and a sharp, sword-like crispness, Shinsou has a rich aroma that rises up and a gentle, mellow flavor. Which one to choose is up to the drinker's taste.
