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.
SubtleAromaticAromatic: aroma is a big part of this sake's character and design. Perfume fills the glass. Usually "4" aroma is coming from ginjo-ka (fruit, florals).
Damn! So good. If you're not afraid of a touch of sweetness, you'll be duly rewarded by this 50% polish, lightly sparkling nama genshu (unpasteurized, undiluted) from the Kaze no Mori series. Made with Tsuyuhakaze rice, which many of you will know from Kaze no Mori's 807 Black Label, this is a totally different expression of the same rice. Strawberry puffs, whipped mascarpone, macerated berries-- an ethereal, fluffy lightness that is as indulgent as it is weightless.
