Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
An SMV of -5 and the described one-year low-temperature aging, with deep richness and a syrupy texture, point to a full, sweet koshu. Ginjo-derived aroma remains moderate, placing it in the juku quadrant.

About
Funaguchi, a sake that matures and changes its character over time. To make the most of this quality, it was slowly matured at low temperature for a full year at the brewery. It has a deep, rich flavor and a smooth, velvety mouthfeel that differ from when it was freshly made. This is a taste that can only be enjoyed in sake that has been given time to age.
