Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
Genshu at 16-18% and the text's emphasis on rice umami point to a full, rich body with restrained aroma. The stated slightly dry character and SMV of 1 to 3 place sweetness at a moderately dry level.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Winner of first place nationally in the Junmai sake category at the 2015 National Alcoholic Beverage Competition. Made entirely from sake rice grown in Hokkaido, this Junmai Ginjo is an undiluted genshu, bottled without adding water so the umami of the rice can be fully enjoyed. This sake is available only at Kikkogura's own shops.
