Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The honjozo at 65% polishing and 18% alcohol, close to undiluted, along with the described mellow dry character and rounded umami from two years of aging, points to restrained aroma and full body. SMV +4 keeps it dry, while the low acidity of 1.4 softens that impression slightly.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
A limited-edition stored and aged sake, slowly matured in an earthen-walled brewery. It has a rich, full-bodied dry character that brings out the flavor of the ingredients. Aged for about two years in the earthen-walled brewery, this honjozo is shipped from the brewery in an almost undiluted (genshu) state. It is a full-bodied, rich dry sake that draws out the umami of the ingredients. Among the many unpasteurized namazake (namazake) on the market, a sake matured over time has a particularly distinctive umami. It is not fresh, but its calm flavor is rounded and its umami is gentle.
