Specs list a 50% polish, Hakutsuru's proprietary yeast, Yabuta pressing, no aging, and double pasteurization. The rice is polished with precision to retain only the heart of the grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJunmai Daiginjo means no brewer's alcohol, just rice, water and koji, and at 50% seimaibuai half the grain has been milled away. Yabuta press and twice pasteurized means a clean, stable, consistently fruity style rather than a fragile, funky one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting notes: Gentle aromas of crisp apple, ripe nectarine and soft pear unfold into a smooth, lingering finish. The producer's European notes add delicate apple and pear balanced by lush strawberry and nectarine. Retail tasting notes describe peach and apple on the nose, a delicate texture and hints of pear, deeply complex yet smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e apple, pear, white peach, nectarine, light floral lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e velvety and silky, medium bodied, pear deepening through the glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e clean, smooth and long, just off dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e smooth, lush, fruity, floral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServe:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 to 15°C, or 40 to 55°F chilled to lift the acidity and the floral, fruity aromas, or 65 to 75°F at room temperature, where umami and delicate rice notes emerge.
