Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

DrySweet
LightFull

Dry junmai (SMV +5, acidity 1.5, 60% polishing) points to restrained aroma and moderate, umami-tinged body. The description's dry bite, rice umami and clean finish confirm a dry, food-friendly profile.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.

About

Dry as it is, you can still taste the umami of the rice. Served chilled, it offers a gentle acidity and a clean finish. Served warmed (kan), its umami opens up. It is an outstanding food sake that never becomes tiresome to drink.
