About This Style

What These Profiles Represent

National Research Institute of Brewing materials describe ginjo-shu as sake made with highly polished rice using the ginjo method. The same official criteria list Ginjo-shu at 60% rice polishing or less, and Junmai Ginjo-shu uses the same polishing threshold without added brewers alcohol.

Ginjo sake is often lighter, fruitier, and more aromatic than standard sake because polishing removes more of the grain exterior and the fermentation method emphasizes ginjo aroma. The database groups plain Ginjo and Junmai Ginjo profiles here so professional users can compare common market labels without implying a product-specific legal classification beyond the source data.

The Ginjo profile set includes Hyogo, Kyoto, Niigata, Nagano, Yamagata, and Iwate producers. Product ABV values cluster around 14.5% to 15.5%, but each For BAC simulation, use the chosen profile and pour size.

Simulation Use

Use the Product Profile, Not the Average

Use these Ginjo profiles to compare ABV, serving size, and estimated standard-drink dose before adding a drink to a simulation. For case work, start with the specific drink profile and then adjust pour volume, drink timing, and any case-specific assumptions.
