Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The description's emphasis on rich, sweet, soft flavor, together with a 70% polishing ratio and SMV 0, points to a full-bodied, sweetish profile. The faint ginjo-style aroma only slightly lifts the aroma axis, so the sake sits in the restrained, rich jun quadrant.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Since its release in the 1970s, this local staple has led the Kuromatsusenjo brand. It is characterized by a subtle ginjo aroma and an acidity that makes it an indispensable companion to food. It can be enjoyed warmed (kan) or chilled without growing tiresome. It is also popular as a year-end gift, presented in a distinctive black carton.
