Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
Caramel and brown-sugar aroma from aged ginjo, plus a mellow, deep texture at 17% alcohol, point to the juku type with moderately high aroma and full body. SMV +7 reads dry, but the low acidity of 1.2 softens the palate and adds a touch of perceived sweetness.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
