Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The text describes a kimoto-brewed junmai with deep, rich rice umami, and the specs (80% polishing, SMV +5, acidity 1.7) agree. This points to a restrained aroma, a full body and a dry-leaning profile.

About
9638+80 (Kurosawa Hamaru). In an era when highly polished rice is the norm, this sake deliberately forgoes heavy polishing, milling the rice by only 20% and brewing it using kimoto (traditional yeast-starter method). A rich junmai sake in which the complex, deep flavors of rice umami intertwine. Enjoyable from chilled to hot (atsukan).
