Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The 60% polishing ratio, SMV of +1 and honjozo-style description point to a restrained, rice-led aroma with moderate body. The text describes it as slightly dry when chilled and softer when warmed, so sweetness is low.

About
The rice is polished to 60% and fermented slowly over a long period at low temperature. The sake is a honjozo (sake with a small amount of added distilled alcohol). Chilled, it is somewhat dry, but warmed (kan), it feels softer. Gold leaf floats within the sake, making it a popular choice for New Year and other auspicious occasions.
