Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol content 15.5
The nose has notes of banana, apple, and the rice and koji used to make it. It has an unassertive sweetness and an acidity that enlivens it, producing a distinct umami flavor. There is little miscellaneous flavor, and the sweetness and umami derived mainly from Yamada-Nishiki are in perfect balance with each other. The use of Yamada-Nishiki gives it a bitter taste with pleasant umami in the latter half.
It is designed to be served with food, and has a flavor typical of sake.

A friend of mine from Shizuoka Prefecture gave this to me as a gift.
Gorgeous packaging, and I can't wait to taste it!
