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.
SoftAcidicVery soft: gentle and mellow, almost no perceptible acidity. A "1" sake isn't flat or boring, but is balanced around overall subtlety and softness, using other characteristics to give it structure.
SubtleAromaticModerate aroma: noticeable from the glass. Most often, moderate intensity aromas are either ginjo-ka (fruit, florals) or koshu-ka (nuts, mushroom, brown sugar).
Pairs with
Pair with grilled lamb chops, couscous, or paprika chicken.
saltwater taffy, necco wafers, strong but light palate, closer to melon and nectarine. Lovely, ultra-pretty junmai ginjo from the Kamakura burbs. It's light yet lingering, full of body but finishes like a whisper-- if you know the code word, it's Yamadanishiki #9, polished to 50% and made with the original Kumamoto Kobo. Tastes exactly as it should. Iconic!
