Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The dry profile (SMV +10), acidity of 1.8 and 65% polishing, together with the description's 'きっちりとしまった飲み口' and 'ふくよか' wording, point to restrained aroma and a full but tightly defined body. Sweetness is low, with a crisp finish.

About
This is the driest junmai sake in the Sawanoi lineup. Although it is labeled dai-karakuchi, its dryness is not sharp or thin. Instead, the dryness gently tightens the soft, full-bodied flavor of junmai, giving it balance. It is easy to keep drinking, and its flavor deepens with each cup, making it an ideal everyday sake for evening drinks.
