Pale yellow in appearance, slightly viscous on the palate. The top notes are slightly thiol and strong alcohol, but not angular, with a nice minerality. The thioliness disappears on the after-flavor, leaving a caramel-like aroma in the back. The rest of the aroma is refreshing and crisp.
In comparison to the rice polishing ratio and Junmai Daiginjo, the ginjo aroma doesn't assert itself too much, but it is not spicy while retaining its alcoholic flavor, perhaps because it is kept in a 28BY cellar. There are some people who may not like it, but it's a sake with a good character.
