Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The description cites restrained aroma and rich flavor, and SMV +5 with acidity 1.5 plus alcohol addition gives a dry, sharp finish. This points to low aroma, medium-full body and low sweetness.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
The addition of brewer's alcohol gives the finish a crisp, well-defined edge. By adding alcohol with care, we aim for the well-integrated aroma and flavor that is distinctive to Honjozo (sake to which a small amount of brewer's alcohol is added). It pairs exceptionally well with food and is a perfect companion for an evening drink at home. In the colder months it is also delicious served hot (atsukan). We invite you to enjoy our own Honjozo, which we are confident in.
