Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The nigori (濁酒) style and the description of a food-like drink point to a thick, rice-driven body with noticeable sweetness. At 12% alcohol and without ginjo-style cues, the aroma stays restrained.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Long before the Yamato court was established, this sake was used as omiki (sacred sake) in a festival offering new grain to the deities of heaven and earth. The custom has continued unbroken to the present day. The sake is brewed by following traditional brewing methods handed down from the past.
