Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The 17% undiluted genshu and the description of a deep, flavorful nigori point to a full, rich body with restrained aroma. The active-nigori sparkle and the nigori texture suggest a moderately sweet, soft impression.

About
A genshu (undiluted sake) nigori with a rich, deep flavor and a light, thin cloudiness. Kassei nigori is sake bottled while its yeast is still active. The carbon dioxide the yeast produces makes the sake sparkle. Because the yeast keeps producing carbon dioxide, the pressure inside the bottle is high, and the sake may foam over when opened. A local sake from Tochigi, recommended for drinking at home.
