Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The nigori texture, low acidity of 1.3 and SMV +3 combined with the description of roasted rice aroma and lively umami point to a rice-led, moderately rich and softly sweet profile. Nama freshness keeps the body from feeling heavy.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
