Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The description of an extremely rich unfiltered nigori genshu at 18% alcohol points to a very full body and dense richness. No ginjo-style aroma is mentioned, so aroma stays restrained, while the nigori texture suggests moderately high sweetness.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Simply strained through mesh, this is an extremely rich nigori (cloudy sake) genshu (undiluted sake). It is often effervescent, so care is needed when opening shogo (720 ml) bottles. Isshobin (1.8 liter) bottles use a fermentation stopper, so they will spill if laid on their side.
