Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The 65% polished junmai is described as fragrant with depth and easy to keep drinking, so I read it as modestly aromatic with a moderately full body and a balanced, neither clearly dry nor sweet profile suited to food.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
