The 35% polishing ratio, daiginjo classification, and free-run shizuku pressing point to a clean, fragrant profile described as refined and free of off-flavors. SMV +5 with low acidity of 1.2 suggests a light, dry-leaning sweetness and a thin-to-medium texture.}

About
The entire batch is made with Yamada Nishiki (Y), Kumamoto yeast (K), and rice polished to a rice polishing ratio of 35% (35), forming the YK35 brew. It is brewed with the crisp groundwater of Kumamoto, and the moromi (fermentation mash) is left to drip naturally without any pressure applied, a method called shizukudori (free-run collection). The Daiginjo is created through this process. Because it is collected without applying pressure, it has a delicate and refined flavor free of off-flavors.
