Kaori
13% alcohol by volume
The wine is lightly cloudy with some faint bubbles.
The aroma is of white peaches, apples, white flowers, and fruit sweetness, as well as an impression of sweetness like white sugar.
The rice polishing ratio is 60%, but there is a powdery, raw material aroma as if the rice had been polished rather well, like Kamishinko (freshly ground rice flour) or shiratama dango (white dumplings).
The taste also has a mild sweet attack and refreshing acidity, giving the impression of sweet, sour, and juicy.
It gives the impression of being easy to drink, and although the alcohol content is low for sake, it feels even lower than that.
It has a slightly sparkling, fresh, and raw sake-like taste when first opened, though not as fizzy as a sparkling sensation.
The second half has a moderate sharpness, and the overall impression is sweet and soft, but the refreshing acidity in the first half and the slightly dry umami in the aftertaste make it seem more than just sweet.
