Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The text describes a very sweet (超甘口) junmai with about three times the acidity and five to seven times the amino acids of ginjo styles, pointing to a rich, umami-driven body and restrained aroma. Its sweetness is balanced by acidity and finishes cleanly, which places it in the jun quadrant.

About
A sake made using production methods from the Edo period. Despite being extremely sweet, its thick sweetness clears cleanly without lingering, thanks to the 'magic' of three times the acidity and five to seven times the amino acid level compared with ginjo-type sake. A sake-version dessert wine that is ideal as an aperitif. Poured over ice cream, it is so good it makes you laugh. Yet it also pairs surprisingly well with blue cheese, foie gras, and hesoko (mackerel pickled in rice bran, a specialty of the Tango region). The label of Taimumashin 1712 depicts an Edo-period sake brewery scene, in which a robot whose face bears the Tamagawa logo is hidden among the kurabito (brewery workers).
