Despite its 40% polishing ratio, the brewery text emphasizes rice umami over ginjo aroma, so the aroma reads as restrained. The 17% alcohol, low acidity of 1.2 and SMV +3 point to a full, round body with a mild sweetness.

About

Rice umami that spreads gently on the palate. Rather than ginjo aroma, this junmai daiginjo pursues the umami inherent in sake itself, resulting in a deep and full-bodied flavor. With 150 years of history, Yatsushika Shuzo carries on the Yatsushika sake tradition. We invite you to enjoy this sake, crafted with the wholehearted effort of the toji (master brewer).
