Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The description calls it a dry junmai with kimoto koku and nama kire, and SMV +4.5 supports the dry profile. A restrained aroma with a full, umami-rich body places it in the jun quadrant.

About
In the depths of winter, at Kikumasamune's Hozo (宝蔵), this junmai sake was carefully brewed using kimoto (traditional yeast-starter method) techniques passed down by Tamba toji (master brewers from the Tamba region). It has the clean finish characteristic of nama (unpasteurized) sake and a full, rounded richness that lives up to its name, Nada no Kiippon (pure, unblended sake of Nada). It is a true mainstream dry sake of the Nada region.
