Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
The 50% polished junmai daiginjo with origarami, acidity 1.4 and SMV +4 points to a deep, full-bodied profile with moderate acidity and a slightly dry finish. The description stresses rich flavor over perfume, so aroma is moderate and the style sits in the aromatic, rich juku quadrant.

About
Sake connoisseurs will appreciate its deep, full-bodied character, which is satisfying to drink, and its well-judged balance of pleasant acidity. It pairs well with a wide range of dishes, from seafood to meat. It is especially well suited to rich meat dishes such as sukiyaki and karaage (Japanese-style fried chicken), as well as strongly flavored simmered fish.
