Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

The description stresses yamahai umami and a three-year koshu aging, pointing to a full, mellow body. The 60% polishing ratio and lack of aroma notes suggest restrained aroma, placing it in the jun quadrant with moderate sweetness.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.

About

It lacks the intense character of the red label, but it has ample umami from yamahai (a traditional starter method that relies on naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria). It is unpretentious and is served at room temperature. Drinkers often say, "Before I knew it, I was drinking this," making it a sake that does not tire the palate.
