Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The SMV of +10, acidity of 2.1 and 60% polish, together with the description's sharp kire and super-dry character, point to restrained aroma and very low sweetness. The stated rice umami and higher acidity give it a fuller, savory body, placing it in the jun quadrant.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
