Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
The brewery text cites a restrained, ripe banana-like ginjo aroma and a weighty, full-bodied palate, supported by the 50% polishing ratio and 17% alcohol. The SMV of +3 and the balance of umami, sweetness and acidity suggest moderate sweetness and a rich, mature profile.}

About
A Junmai Daiginjo made with 100% Yamada Nishiki rice. Its restrained ginjo aroma is reminiscent of ripe banana, and it has a well-balanced profile of rice umami, sweetness, and acidity. With its full-bodied texture, it can be enjoyed on its own, but it truly shows its worth when drunk with a meal. It can also be served as an aperitif, but it is recommended to enjoy it alongside food. It pairs especially well with dishes seasoned with soy sauce and a sweet-savory balance, such as grilled eel (unagi), sukiyaki, and nikujaga (simmered beef and potatoes).
