Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake

DrySweet
LightFull

A 40% polished daiginjo aged for over five years (koshu) at 17-18% alcohol points to a mature, full-bodied style with aroma still present. SMV +5 and acidity 1.4 suggest a balanced, moderately dry finish.

About

Aged for more than five years at low temperature so as not to disturb the balance of aroma and flavor of the Homarekirin Daiginjo Fukurodori Shizukuzake (bag-drip sake) Yamada Nishiki, this is a sublime bottle to savor.
