Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The junmai grade, 65% polishing, SMV +10 and high acidity of 2.2 point to a very dry, sturdy profile. Together with the description's emphasis on richness, umami and sharp finish, this places it as restrained in aroma, full in body and rich, in the jun quadrant.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Dry sake tends to lack umami and can taste thin, but Goshu has a full-bodied weight and an outstanding clean finish. The sake has a strong presence and works well as a food sake, holding its own alongside any dish. It pairs especially well with Japanese cuisine. Set against the clean, elegant sakes that dominate the market, Goshu sits at the opposite end of the spectrum and will surely become a new part of your repertoire.
