Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The SMV of +15 and the explicit 超辛口 description point to very low sweetness, while the 山田錦 rice umami and 18% alcohol give a restrained aroma and a moderately full, lingering body. The text stresses キレ and 旨味 over fruity or floral character, placing it in the jun quadrant.

About
Made entirely with Yamada Nishiki, a sake rice, this exceptionally dry (cho-karakuchi) Tokubetsu Junmai is brewed to a crisp, clean finish that brings out the natural umami of the rice that is characteristic of Yamada Nishiki. Rather than drinking it in quick succession, it is recommended to sip slowly and savor the lingering aftertaste.
