Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The brewery text emphasizes richness (koku) balanced by moderate acidity, and the specs (70% polishing, SMV +2, acidity 1.3, 15.5% ABV) point to restrained aroma, a full body, and a soft, near-medium sweetness.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
