Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The condensed-milk and milk-candy aroma, together with the rich umami, full body and weighty finish typical of yamahai genshu at 70% polishing, points to a rich, restrained profile. The vivid acidity keeps sweetness moderate.

About
Nomikiri (a sampling step in which a small amount of genshu is drawn from a storage tank that was pasteurized (heat sterilization) during the brewing season, to confirm that aging is progressing normally and without problems). Serving on the rocks or with soda is also recommended. It can also be stored in a cool, dark place for six months to one year before drinking, and there are many ways to enjoy it. A sweet aroma reminiscent of condensed milk or milk candy can be detected. The flavor opens with a rough yet vivid acidity, from which the rich umami derived from the rice gradually spreads across the palate. The finish has a satisfying weight, offering the powerful, substantial character typical of genshu.
