Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
The 50% polished Yamada Nishiki and the junmai-oriented Yamaguchi 9E yeast point to a gentle aroma with a spreading umami, so aroma is moderate and body reads full. The umami-driven richness places it toward juku with mild sweetness.

About
Rather than the yeast commonly used for ginjo sake, the brewery deliberately chose the Yamaguchi 9E yeast (a yeast strain for junmai sake that Yamaguchi Prefecture is known for), resulting in a sake with a gentle aroma and a distinctive umami that spreads across the palate.
