Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
The brewery text describes a refined ginjo aroma of apple and pear with a gentle, honey-like sweetness and concentrated umami, and the 35% polishing and SMV +2 support a fairly aromatic profile. The crisp acidity keeps the body balanced, so it reads as sweet-leaning and moderately full rather than heavy.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
The color is crystal clear with a faint yamabuki-iro (golden kerria) tint. The first impression is a gentle, soft sweetness that gives way to a rich umami, melting like honey. A crisp, clean acidity that suggests the quality of the sake leaves a fresh sensation on the finish. It is excellent as an aperitif, and it also pairs well with lean dishes such as shellfish, squid, and white fish sushi. It brings out the umami of the ingredients and offers an elegant flavor reminiscent of a squeeze of sudachi or lemon. Serve chilled at 6 to 8°C in a thin-rimmed glass to enjoy its aroma and flavor.
