Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
An SMV of -6 and acidity of 1.6 point to a noticeably sweet, softly rounded profile. The description of full, mellow Omachi character and the daiginjo grade suggest a rich body with a moderately aromatic nose.

About
This sake is made with the sake rice Bizen Omachi (備前雄町; pronounced bizen-omachi). Bizen Omachi is the only sake rice that has been continuously cultivated for over 100 years, and it enjoys an overwhelming popularity among sake connoisseurs. Its large, soft grains make the rice a demanding one to work with, but this sake has been finished with the full, rounded flavor characteristic of Omachi. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
