• Acidity: 3.0

Quick Taste Profile Note

With an SMV of -8 and an acidity of 3.0, this sake is likely a fascinating "sweet and sour" style. While the negative SMV indicates high residual sugar (sweetness), the exceptionally high acidity (3.0 is roughly double the average) will provide a sharp, juicy finish—similar to a tart white wine or a modern craft sake.
