Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
The 40% polished Yamada Nishiki daiginjo has a calm, floral aroma and a firm, umami-rich front palate after more than a year of cold aging, so I place it as moderately aromatic with a slightly full body. The SMV of +4 and the dry (karakuchi) description point to low sweetness.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
A composed, fragrant aroma leads to a bold, deep flavor at the start, while the middle to finish opens into a refined umami lingering on the palate. This dry Daiginjo can be enjoyed chilled for a light, crisp drink, or at room temperature for a more settled character. Please enjoy it on its own rather than with a meal.
