Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
Ten-plus years of aging on a koshu ginjo, with caramel and brown sugar aromas and deep koku described in the text, points to a high-aroma, full-bodied juku style. SMV +7 keeps sweetness moderate, while low acidity of 1.2 gives a soft, rounded finish.

About
Only the finest ginjo sake is carefully selected, then left to mature slowly for more than ten years and polished over time. Its dignified, supple flavor is unmatched and can only be drawn out over many years. It is a sake to savor with the passing of time: this is Kukurihime. Refined over many years, it has a sweet, rich aroma reminiscent of caramel and brown sugar, a smooth texture on the palate, and deep body. Long aging brings out a complex and rich flavor.
