The aroma is exceptionally refined and elegant, releasing notes of white peach, ripe pear, and delicate florals, with a clear outline that is never ostentatious. On the palate, it is silky-smooth, with transparent sweetness, precise and crisp acidity, and restrained yet deeply expressive umami, resulting in a compact and polished overall structure. The finish is clean and lingering, showcasing the distinctive tension and high level of completion characteristic of sake brewed for appraisal competitions. This sake fully demonstrates Suminoe Shuzo’s outstanding craftsmanship in the Daiginjo category, offering exceptional value whether for drinking, appreciation, or collection.
This Daiginjo was submitted to the National New Sake Appraisal held this spring.
