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.
LightFullVery light: delicate and water-clean on the palate, light in flavor and overall presence.
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).
Shibata “Black” Junmai Ginjo uses a rare rice from Hokkaido known as Ginpu, which produces clean and crisp sake due to its relative hardness, being grown in a cold prefecture with a short growing season. Given the softness of the water at the brewery, they are able to produce a well-rounded sake that leaves you with a mild finish. Brought to you in a unique 200ml flask which we like to call “Pocket Sake.”
