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.
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.
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.
SubtleAromaticModerate aroma: noticeable from the glass. Most often, moderate intensity aromas are either ginjo-ka (fruit, florals) or koshu-ka (nuts, mushroom, brown sugar).
Dio Abita-- God Dwells-- in the mountains, streams, earth and walls of Miwa, Nara: where Imanishi Shuzo, makers of Mimurosugi, is based.
Legend has it that Imanishi Shuzo predates even the 1141 Sudo Honke, although verifiable records only date to the 1600s. Mount Miwa is considered the resting place of the god of sake, which makes Imanishi its castle. And while documents don't exist to prove its age, centuries of oral history cannot be interrupted by fires and human turmoil. Imanishi supplies sake for Omiwa shrine, which is Japan's oldest shrine and the house of the God of Sake.
Dio Abita is a 13% ABV genshu (undiluted) sake which has been pasteurized once for stability. It is off-dry with a bright and clean acidity, fresh, lemonade-like Ginjo aroma, juicy and round on the palate, with notes of yakult, apricot and lemon meringue. A divine experience that leaves you wanting more
