Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
A 40% polished daiginjo that keeps refined ginjo aroma while three years of ice-temperature aging adds roundness and body. Low acidity of 1.1 and an SMV of +4 point to a soft, gently dry-leaning sweetness, fitting the aromatic, aged juku style.
