Flavor profile Jun-shu

RichLight
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The very negative SMV of -28 and nigori texture point to strong sweetness and a rounded mouthfeel, while the high acidity of 3.8 provides balance. As a junmai with 13% alcohol and no ginjo-style descriptors, the aroma is likely restrained, placing it in the jun quadrant.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
