Flavor profileEach scale is our tasting-room read on where this bottle sits between two extremes — dry to sweet, light to full-bodied, soft to acidic, and subtle to aromatic. These are subjective, however, and will shift with food, serveware & temp.
DrySweetBalanced dry: reads as dry, with a little bit of softness, or maybe a fruit/brown sugar note that tempers the impression of dryness. Most people will read "2" as dry.
LightFullLight: lean and easy, mellow, has enough flavor and umami to give it character but generally really easy to drink. This is the most common weight for junmai ginjo/ginjo sake.
SoftAcidicSoft: the most common degree of acidity for sake. A little bit of acidity to give it structure and keep the flavor refreshing, but acidity isn't an important part of its identity.
SubtleAromaticModerate aroma: noticeable from the glass. Most often, moderate intensity aromas are either ginjo-ka (fruit, florals) or koshu-ka (nuts, mushroom, brown sugar).
2026: Like biting into a fresh, crisp Macintosh apple; the delicate astringency of the skin - the semi-dry, almost tannic finish like a fine local cider, crisp acidity & full, juicy orchard fruit, a feeling reminiscent of brisk autumn air paired with sweet memories. Not brimming with complexity (or expense!), this sake is more succinct and a pleasure to enjoy. Perfect with any Fall foods but especially those that carry a hint of apple-- think Fall salads with endive, apple and blue cheese, curry rice, saucy okonomiyaki, or fruit-basted roasts.
2024-5: With a little bit of pep in its step, a white pepper lift and the crisp, juicy sensation of biting into a fresh Fuji apples, this is the bright, refreshing youngin' of the hiyaoroshi bunch! It still says Fall with every sip-- but this is more of a bananas foster, halloween candy kind of vibe, than the earthy mushroom vibes of other releases. Absolutely delicious and very well suited to drinking by the glass.
