Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The description stresses rice umami with a clean, crisp finish and no lingering sweetness, which fits the SMV of +3. Together with the 68% polishing and junmai style, this points to restrained aroma, moderate fullness and low sweetness.

About
By raising the rice polishing ratio (精米歩合) slightly, we succeeded in drawing out the natural umami that the rice itself holds. Even while drawing out this rice umami at a sake meter value (SMV) of +3, we achieved a taste that goes down smoothly without leaving excess sweetness behind. This clean finish drew praise, and the sake has grown into our flagship, now chosen by name by many customers.
