The description calls it a junmai with no ginjo aroma, and the acidity of 1.8 and SMV of +4 point to a restrained nose and a fairly dry, structured palate. Its note that warming adds body and sharpness suggests moderate richness, placing it in the jun quadrant.

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