An SMV of -50 and the description of a very sweet, rich junmai genshu point to strong sweetness and a full, umami-heavy body, reinforced by acidity of 3.4. Koshu aging suggests mature, complex notes, with aroma moderate rather than fruity.}

About

This sake recreates a rich junmai brewing method (noko shikomi) recorded in old documents from the Genroku era (1688-1704). As an undiluted junmai sake (genshu), it is known for its thick, syrupy sweetness. It is often described as one of the sweetest sakes, with a moreish umami that can become habit-forming. We hope you will try it at least once.
