Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
A sake-do of -3, 19% alcohol undiluted, and the description of aged genshu with generous body and earthy grain aroma point to a rich, mildly sweet profile with a subdued but present aroma.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
A revival of a classic traditional sake made with futa-koji, a secret technique handed down since ancient times. The earthy, grain-rich aroma of the old style cannot be found in today's finely tuned ginjo sake. This is a sake of generous depth and ease, full of the richness of an earlier era. It has no cloying quality and a clean finish, and as an aged Nama Genshu (unpasteurized, undiluted sake) it carries a commanding presence.
