Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

DrySweet
LightFull

The description of a gentle aroma and rice umami that swells quietly points to restrained fragrance with a rounded, rice-driven body. Polishing at 50%, SMV +1 and acidity 1.6 support a balanced, moderately dry-to-neutral profile, placing it in the jun quadrant.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.

About

A gentle aroma, with the umami of rice quietly expanding on the palate and a pleasing, lingering finish. This sake has an excellent balance of the five tastes. In January, we will release an unpasteurized namazake made only in the volume of orders received, as an extremely limited product. Note: Bottles shipped from February 2015 onward carry a new label.
