Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
Despite the junmai ginjo label, the 55% polish, acidity of 1.3, and SMV of +3 together with the description of concentrated rice umami, sweetness and acidity point to a restrained, full-bodied profile. The sake is placed in the jun quadrant with moderate sweetness and a dense texture.

About
This sake brings out the natural flavor of the rice itself. Chewing the rice reveals its umami, sweetness and acidity, all tightly packed together. It is a sake to savor slowly, and yet its clean finish keeps it refreshing and easy to drink. It pairs well with dishes that feature acidity, such as marinades and vinegar-based dishes, or vegetable dishes with a dressing. For meat, chicken is a good match; for fish, horse mackerel (aji) or mackerel (saba). It is also enjoyable alongside cheese. Chilled crisply to bring out its bold character and served in a generously sized, thick-lipped ceramic ochoko, this sake's natural, wild flavors are further enhanced.
