Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The 60% polish, SMV +2 and low acidity of 1.3 point to restrained aroma and a gently sweet impression. The description of clean sweetness and rich umami with a light, unheavy finish places it as a rich-yet-light junmai.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Clean sweetness and rich umami come through, yet the finish is light and lively, without the heaviness sometimes associated with junmai sake. Warmed to nurukan (lukewarm), it takes on an even fuller body and is delicious.
