Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The strongly negative SMV of -30 and the thick, unfiltered texture from retained lees point to a sweet, rich profile. Restrained aroma and rice-led umami place it in the jun quadrant.

About
Made with 100% Nagano-grown rice, this junmai nigori (cloudy, unfiltered sake) is brewed using only rice. Its smooth, thick texture is light and mellow, and the natural umami and sweetness of the rice are its defining features. The melt-in-the-mouth texture of Reijin's nigori has made it a popular choice. This sweetness comes from the rice itself. No sugar or artificial sweeteners are added. The brewing process is designed to preserve the pure sweetness that comes naturally from the rice. In addition, the sake is deliberately pressed through a coarse mesh, leaving a generous amount of solids from the moromi (fermentation mash) in the sake. This achieves a silky, smooth mouthfeel.
