Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The 60% polishing ratio, 18% alcohol and SMV of -4 point to a full, rich body with restrained aroma and a noticeable sweetness. The description's 'robust' and 'understated' wording supports a rice-led, junmai-style profile.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Within a lineup that spans striking brand-rice bottlings and yamahai (traditional yeast-starter method) brews, this quietly understated bottle holds steady as the base spec of The 16th-generation Kuroemon, keeping the line's core character intact. It is robust and a little unpolished, and that is exactly why I am attached to it.
