Kaori
Unfiltered, single filtered.
This sake is made from a low protein content rice called "Shunyo". Although no wine yeast or other yeast is used, the sake is said to have a Sauvignon Blanc-like quality.
The aroma is refreshing, with a clean, crisp impression of lemon, lemongrass, and herbs. The aroma is a little sweet, like syrup or glacial sugar, and raw material aroma like white dumplings.
The taste is also very clean and refreshing, with a moderately soft sweetness and smooth texture. Speaking of Shichida, one has the impression of unfiltered raw sake with a strong, raw material aroma, but this one is very clean. The flavor is so clean and refreshing that it is hard to believe that it is 75% polished. However, the juicy and firm acidity that develops in the latter half of the bottle, and the robust flavor that is not found in sake that is merely high in purity and whiteness, makes it not only light, but also very drinkable. Texture was also smooth, but after a little time, the mouthfeel of the somewhat rough and powdery ingredients emerged.
