Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
The 50% polished junmai ginjo with SMV +5 and a description of rich koku, a smooth texture and a firm finish points to a moderately aromatic, full-bodied sake with restrained sweetness. This places it in the juku quadrant.

About
The first impression is soft, gentle, and gracious. As you keep drinking, however, it suddenly shows a firm core, and the flavor begins to assert itself. The transformation is striking, much like a red wine opening up in the glass, and it is truly surprising. We invite you to try its rich flavor.
