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.
DrySweetBone dry: crisp and clean, almost no perceptible sweetness. Everyone will read "5" 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.
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.
SubtleAromaticVery subtle aroma: almost no aroma, maybe a little rice, chestnut, or pear. Usually comes with a subtle flavor profile as well.
Pairs with
katsuo no tataki, sashimi, sake theft, chawanmushi, yu tofu
お燗温度帯 ぬる燗（40℃）～上燗（45℃）
Rich umami, smooth texture, and a refreshingly crisp finish! A light, dry, honjozo sake from Tosa that you’ll never tire of drinking.
A robust, light-bodied, ultra-dry and sake that goes down smoothly and never gets old. A pleasant aroma expands on the palate alongside a soft umami, leading to a surprisingly refreshing and crisp finish. When warmed, despite its ultra-dry character, a subtle sweetness emerges, resulting in a crisp, dry warmed sake with a clean finish. With a crispness as clear and bright as the sun of southern Tosa, this is the true essence of Tosa’s ultra-dry sake!
