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

DrySweet
LightFull

The junmai sake at 18% alcohol has a genshu-style volume, and the described papaya, green apple and lime notes with a sharp acidic edge point to moderately high aroma, a fuller body and a dry, umami-driven sweetness.

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

About

Aromas and flavors of papaya, green apple and lime, with an acidic brightness reminiscent of juniper berry, give a refreshing sense of minerality. On the palate it is somewhat sharp at first, yet refreshing and carrying the full, substantial body characteristic of undiluted sake (genshu). It is a flavorful dry (karakuchi) sake. Enjoy chilled or warmed (atsukan).
