Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
Honjozo at 60% polishing with SMV +5 and acidity 1.4 suggests restrained aroma. The description's mid-palate umami and slightly dry, balanced sweet-dry profile place it on the fuller side of the map.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
A gentle character, with a well-balanced umami that spreads from the front to the middle of the palate. The finish turns slightly dry, with a pleasing crispness in the latter part. Served on the rocks, the fullness at the front becomes a lighter taste. It is equally enjoyable warmed (kan) or at room temperature, sipped slowly. It pairs well with fried dishes such as karaage, and shows its versatility at the table.
