Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The description's emphasis on restrained showiness and mature rice umami, together with the 55% polish, SMV 0 and 16% alcohol, points to a restrained aroma, a rich umami-led body and moderate sweetness. This places it in the jun (rich, restrained) quadrant.
