Reminiscent of banana and cacao.
These are sensory words.

They are not analytical claims that a specific molecule has been identified as the cause in SAT 002. In general sake sensory evaluation, isoamyl acetate is used as a reference for banana-like aroma, but that does not make it the confirmed cause of this bottle's sensory profile.

BANANASENSORY DESCRIPTION

A ripe-fruit direction in the tasting language.

CACAOSENSORY DESCRIPTION

A word for the deeper, roasted impression in the profile.

SENSORY LANGUAGE VS. AROMA MOLECULES →

Tsuchida Brewery describes a direction built around all-kimoto brewing, the work of microorganisms, and using local Gunma table rice with minimal polishing where appropriate. It also notes that rice origin and polishing ratio can vary by label and purpose.

For that reason, we do not copy brewery-wide practice into SAT 002 as if it were this bottle's confirmed rice, polishing ratio or analytical data. Bottle-specific facts and brewery context remain distinct.

SENSORY ≠ ANALYSISBanana and cacao are tasting descriptions. They do not mean a causative aroma compound has been identified by analysis.
