Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
The description cites a broad, rich aroma and firm body, while SMV -3, low acidity of 1.2 and 17% alcohol point to a slightly sweet, dense profile. This places it in the aromatic, rich juku quadrant.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Created around the concept of “personal time in a free style,” this ginjo sake is finished with an expansive, rich aroma and a firm richness with a lingering finish. It is meant to be enjoyed in whatever way you like, on the rocks, with hot water (oyuwari), or with soda (soda-wari). Available for shipment in September only.
