Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The 65% polishing ratio and the description of rice umami with a gentle mochigome-derived sweetness suggest restrained aroma, a mildly full body and soft sweetness. This places it in the jun (rich, restrained) style.

About
Equally at celebrations and in times of sorrow, this is a sake that stays close to people's hearts in any moment. Of course, Chikuha Noto Josen is indispensable at local festivals. The umami of rice and the gentle sweetness derived from glutinous rice are pleasant, and its moderate finish makes you reach for your cup without realizing it. It can be enjoyed chilled or warmed (atsukan), at any temperature. In recent years, it has earned praise beyond the local area for its flavor and high cost performance from various quarters. In the Futsushu (ordinary sake) category, it has received the comment that it 'expresses the sincerity of sake brewing.' It has received numerous awards, making it an unusual futsushu.
