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: a bit of fleshy sweetness. Fruit notes taste more round and juicy, chocolate notes have more heft. Typical sweetness for modern styles. Some people will read "3" as dry.
LightFullMedium: a bit of richness or creaminess, heft, more flavor intensity, more presence, sometimes higher alcohol or sweetness. A lot of namazake sits here.
SoftAcidicAbove-average acidity, an important part of this sake's character, but nowhere near sour/tart. Lift, refreshing. When paired with higher sweetness, it creates a juicy, ripe impression.
SubtleAromaticVery aromatic: bursting with ginjo-ka (fruit, florals), very often filling the room--or at least the table. Aromatic intensity is core to this sake's character.
Super super aromatic, this classic sake announces itself to the room when it is opened.
The intensely fruity flavors-- banana-mango smoothie, peachie-O's, ultra-ripe kiwifruit, banana gelato, mixed fruit yoplait-- land softly thanks to the CEL-24 yeast which cannot ferment to high alcohols. As a result, this undiluted (genshu) sake is ultra flavorful but alcoholically mild at ~14% ABV, a unique combination.
Utterly soft, plush, and wildly aromatic-- this one is an absolute classic and representative of the prefectural yeast research associations which make Kochi prefecture unique in the sake world.
