Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

About
A Junmai sake brewed by the kimoto method (traditional yeast-starter method), using Yamada Nishiki and Gohyakumangoku rice. It has a sturdy structure, yet it is well balanced, with rich umami and a rounded acidity that come together harmoniously. It is easy to drink without fatigue. Its backbone holds up well to warming, which is its appeal, so it can be enjoyed from room temperature to warmed. It pairs well with dishes with bold flavors, such as meat dishes and simmered dishes.
