Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
Polished to 35% with SMV -3, this unfiltered nama genshu shows high aroma and a sweet, rice-umami-rich body that the text describes as complex yet soft. The faint acidity keeps it lively, placing it in the juku quadrant.

About
Sweet, sour, pungent, bitter and astringent flavors emerge in layers across the palate, yet the sake remains aromatic and soft. A faint acidity felt on the tongue leads you to the next cup, and the umami of rice spreads and sinks in gently. The sake is not filtered at all, and depending on the timing of bottling, rice components may remain in the bottle. As a namazake (unpasteurized sake), the lively energy of the living yeast comes through directly on the palate.
