The rice is polished to 69%, super flat polished.
The back label says it is "medium dry with a deep and full flavor," but I personally think it is quite beautiful and sweet with a delicious flavor. It's also very umami.
When you hold it in your mouth at room temperature, the rice spreads gently and deeply. The aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing, with a bit of acidity and a slight alcohol taste, but it is easy to drink. I would like to drink it every day with rice.
This is a Japanese artisanal technique that I hope will remain for a long time.
