The aroma is subtle with little noticeable upfront fragrance. On the palate, there are hints of sweetness and a slightly sweet, sour, and umami flavor. It finishes exceptionally clean, disappearing quickly. Initially, it presents a sweet and sour taste, but the mid-palate transitions to a balance of acidity, dryness, and bitterness. The finish is marked by a lingering dryness. This sake is a medium-bodied classic with a hint of modern nuance.
