The aged koshu blend described as 芳醇旨口 and the 50% polish junmai daiginjo point to a juku style with moderate aroma and full umami. SMV +3 and acidity 1.4 suggest moderate sweetness and a rounded, fairly rich body.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
