Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The brewery text stresses rich umami and balanced acidity, and acidity 1.8 with SMV +5 supports a restrained aroma, full body and dry-leaning sweetness. Polished to 50% at 16% alcohol, it reads as a savory, food-friendly junmai style.

About
Maruta is made with locally grown sake rice Ginpu. It is finished to preserve the sake's natural color and the bold umami of the rice, giving it a rich character. Its sake quality holds up well with food, pairing particularly well with oily dishes and meat dishes. Overall, the umami is well developed, with a good balance between umami and acidity. It is a Tokubetsu Junmai. It can be enjoyed chilled or warmed (kan).
