Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

The kimoto brewing, the mellow rounded umami and fine acidity described in the text, together with the 55% polishing ratio, point to restrained aroma and a full, rich body. Sweetness is modest, with umami carrying the palate rather than sugar.

About

Also, the gentle mouthfeel that comes from the character of Miyama Nishiki (sake rice) is very pleasant, and fine-grained acidity wraps around the whole. It is delicious even chilled, but warming it (kan) brings out its character further. Made using the kimoto (traditional yeast-starter method) process, it offers a striking harmony of the five tastes and a soft, airy umami.
