Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

DrySweet
LightFull

SMV -9, acidity 1.7 and 16-17% alcohol, together with the description of aged umami and mellowness, point to a rich body with noticeable sweetness. Aroma stays restrained, led by mellow aged notes rather than fruity ginjo-style fragrance.

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

About

Compared with aged Junmai sake, the umami is more pronounced, and it offers the mellow character typical of aged sake. It is recommended as an introduction to aged sake (koshu) for those who are interested in exploring this style.
