Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake

DrySweet
LightFull

The yamahai, three-year tank-aged genshu is described with roasted aroma, acidity and sweetness that interlock in a rich, complex way, pointing to a mature, full-bodied profile. Its aroma is roasted rather than fruity, so it sits just above the midpoint on the aroma axis, and the 17%+ alcohol supports the texture.

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

About

This sake is slowly matured for three years in tank, then bottled as it is without filtration. A genshu with a rich, full-bodied character in which toasty aromas, acidity and sweetness blend together in a complex way, finished with a sharp, clean edge.
