The provided technical parameters (Tokubetsu Junmai, Tomizu Jikomi, Ginfubuki 60%, SMV -4.0, Acidity 2.0) represent a sake specification rather than a finished liqueur formulation.
This implies the data belongs to the base sake used to blend the "Wano Ka no Shizuku Lemon Sake," or is intended as a comparative sake profile (Verification recommended: check the bottle or product sheet to confirm whether these metrics describe the base sake or the blended finished product).
The dense, savory umami derived from the Tomizu Jikomi method and the elevated natural acidity (2.0) are structured to integrate seamlessly with the sharp citrus and bitter oils of real domestic lemon juice.
