Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
A 70% polished junmai with high acidity (2.7) and SMV -1 suggests a restrained aroma, a fuller body and a slightly sweet, rice-forward impression. Wild-yeast brewing and seasonal aged nama releases support the rich, mature character.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
