Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
A 70% polishing ratio, an SMV of -1, and a description stressing rice umami with no brewing alcohol point to restrained aroma, a full rice-driven body, and a slightly sweet, mellow profile.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Because it contains no added brewing alcohol (jozo arukoru), the natural umami and flavor of the rice come through easily. We recommend enjoying it lukewarm, at about body temperature (hitohada).
