Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

The restrained aroma and the round, matured umami from summer aging point to a rich junmai style rather than a light one. An SMV of +4.5 and acidity of 1.6 give a moderately dry, clean finish.

About

Stored at a temperature of around 20°C through the summer, this sake has matured slowly, and the umami of the rice has settled into a rounded, mature character. It is a deeply flavorful sake. Its restrained aroma pairs well with a wide range of dishes, and it is highly recommended as a food sake. It is delicious chilled, but when warmed (kan), its umami becomes even more pronounced.
