Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
An SMV of +9 and the described dry finish, together with dense umami and a sturdy structure from one year of ice-temperature aging, point to a full, rich body and low sweetness. The light herbal aroma is modest, so aroma sits only slightly above center.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Retsu conveys the clarity of a small stream in midwinter, along with a firm core of flavor. This junmai daiginjo is finished dry and aged for one year under ice-temperature storage (hyoon), which develops a dense umami and a dry, structured texture. A light herbal aroma is supported by a solid rice umami, making it a sake that enhances the flavor of a meal.
