Understanding these terms
General explanations of the terms above — these describe the concepts, not this specific bottle.
What does polishing ratio mean?
The polishing (or milling) ratio is the percentage of each rice grain that remains after polishing. A lower number means more of the grain's outer layer has been milled away — a general characteristic of premium categories, not a measure of a specific bottle's quality.
What is SMV?
SMV (sake meter value, nihonshu-do) is a general indicator of a sake's density relative to water. Positive values trend drier and negative values sweeter — but perception also depends on acidity and serving temperature.
What is acidity in sake?
Acidity (san-do) is a general measure of the organic acids in sake that shape its structure and balance; higher acidity often reads as firmer, lower as softer.
