Flavor profile Kun-shu
Kun-shu — aromatic and light
The 40% polishing ratio, Yamada Nishiki and Aiyama, and the description of a lifted, floral top aroma point to strong aromatic character. A soft entry, defined umami and a refreshing acidity on the finish, from its genshu nama nature, suggest a medium-light body with moderate sweetness.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Aiyama (sake rice variety) brings out the flavor, while Yamada Nishiki lends the sake a sense of clarity. The top aroma is bright and floral, pleasantly fragrant, followed by a soft entry and a well-defined umami. The acidity on the finish creates a pleasing lingering aftertaste.
