Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

DrySweet
LightFull

The brewery text stresses koku, rice umami and a full, weighty mouthfeel, which matches the 65% polishing and 1.5 acidity. The restrained aroma, rich body and mildly dry SMV of +4 to +5 place it in the jun quadrant.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
