Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
SMV +15 and acidity 1.6 point to a very dry, crisp finish, while the 19% genshu and three years of aging give a mellow, full body. The honjozo style at 70% polishing keeps the aroma restrained, placing it in the jun quadrant.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
The depth of flavor that comes with genshu (undiluted sake), the mellow maturity of long aging, and a clean finish from an extra-dry sake meter value (SMV) of +15 make this a sake that lives up to its name, Oniomaru. It is good chilled, and it is also good warmed (kan). For a side-by-side tasting, the Honjozo Akaoni (very dry) and the Junmai Aoni (extra dry) are also recommended.
