Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
The description of a bright ginjo aroma and full-bodied rice umami, together with 50% polishing and a 19% genshu, places this in the juku type: aromatic and rich. Sweetness reads as moderate rather than pronounced.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Thanks to low-temperature fermentation, this sake keeps a vivid ginjo aroma while letting the rice's umami come through in a full-bodied profile, despite its daiginjo-class quality. It is equally enjoyable on the rocks or warmed (kan), with no single preferred way to drink it.
