Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

DrySweet
LightFull

The nigori and nama attributes and the description of umami clinging to the palate suggest a full, rich texture with noticeable sweetness. The aroma is not described as prominent, so it sits near neutral, while the lively gas adds a refreshing edge.

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

About

This specially brewed nigori sake is produced in small quantities, so only a limited number are available. The rice and rice polishing ratio vary by season, so the specifications are not disclosed. The umami produced by the moromi (fermentation mash) clings to the tongue. It is soft, yet at times the gas prickles sharply, and its effervescence is refreshing. A special nigori from Kagura that keeps the mouth busy.
