Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
SMV of -7 and acidity of 1.5 point to a clearly sweet profile, and the 18% genshu with nigori texture adds body and richness. The description stresses rice sweetness rather than aroma, so the aroma is restrained and the sake sits in the rich, restrained jun quadrant.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Inspired by doburoku, the cloudy rice brew of old times, this nigori genshu uses no added sugars. Instead, the four-stage rice addition method (yodan-gake) draws out the natural sweetness of the rice, resulting in the clean sweetness characteristic of an undiluted sake. Gather with old friends, knees nearly touching, and raise a glass together. It is also recommended chilled as cold sake, or on the rocks.
