Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
Polished to 50% as a daiginjo, with aged caramel and brown sugar aromas that point to high aroma and a full, soft body typical of juku. SMV +6 leans dry, but the low acidity of 1.1 softens the palate and gives a mild sweetness.
