Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The description stresses concentrated rice umami, firm acidity and depth without a flashy aroma, and the genshu strength at 16-17% with SMV +4 supports a full, slightly dry profile. Restrained aroma and rich body place it in the jun quadrant.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Gikyo Junmai Genshu 60% is the namazake (unpasteurized) version, made with Yamada Nishiki at 60%. It has no flashy character, but thanks to the finest ingredients and brewing, the umami of Yamada Nishiki, the king of sake rice, comes through in full. Concentrated rice umami and firm acidity give it body and depth. It is also recommended as a standard sake for restaurants.
