Reviews
Slightly yellow-tinged in appearance, with a gentle, mildly oxidative aromatic impression. Grain-driven aromas dominate, joined by roasted barley, baked chestnut, almond, and subtle caramel tones. Rich and flavorful on the palate, with concentrated rice-derived sweetness and umami.
Detailed Evaluation
The nose centers on grain-derived rice nuances with restrained fruit. A classic Kimoto structure shows firm dryness and substantial backbone, allowing umami to gradually unfold on the palate before leading into a long finish accented by gentle bitterness. Sharp and linear when chilled, richer and more dimensional when warmed—a quintessential Junmai for the table.
Detailed Evaluation
Yellow-tinged in color, with subdued aromas of Japanese citrus, grains, toasted mochi, nuts, and a hint of yogurt. Dry on the palate, delivering rice-driven umami and volume, while soft acidity keeps the profile tight, finishing with a gently bitter edge.
