Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
The yamahai-brewed ginjo at 55% polishing, genshu at 18% and SMV +5 point to moderate aroma with a full, dry body, and the description's strong acidity and richness place it in the juku type. Sweetness stays low given the dry SMV and the richness comes mainly from the undiluted, yamahai-driven character.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
In sake brewing, there is a process called shubo (yeast starter), in which the yeast is cultivated. Yamahai is one method of making shubo. As yeast and lactic acid bacteria grow together, the sake takes on a sturdy character with strong acidity and richness.
