Flavor profile Kun-shu
Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The described lemon, melon and white flower aromas, together with 35% polishing as a junmai daiginjo, point to high aroma. SMV +3 and the dry impression in the text suggest low sweetness, while the core texture and umami indicate moderate richness with a fairly light body.

About
A Junmai Daiginjo distinguished by its fresh, elegant aroma and umami, developed through a uniquely crafted aging method. Tasting Notes The first impression is firm and well defined, with fresh lemon, the sweet white floral scent of gardenia (kuchinashi), and melon at its juiciest. In the latter half, refreshing spice reminiscent of juniper berries appears, along with a bright, crystalline clarity and a sense of floral brilliance. The palate moves quickly from a mild attack to a dry impression. From the tip of the tongue to the center, however, there is a viscous, core-driven strength that clearly conveys the development of flavors from the mid-palate onward. The finish brings citrus notes and a moist, gentle softness, resulting in a sake with clearly defined contrasts in character.、uncertain_terms placeholder
