Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
A 55% polishing ratio, SMV +4 and acidity 1.3 point to restrained aroma and a fairly dry, soft profile. The yamahai junmai blend and the described umami and koku suggest a moderately full, rich body.

About
Made by blending equal parts of a Junmai sake brewed with Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 55% and a Yamahai (traditional yeast-starter method) Junmai sake of the same specification, this Tokubetsu Junmai adds umami and body. It can be enjoyed chilled or lukewarm (nurukan), and it won gold at the 2014 Kanzake Contest.
