Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The yamahai acidity, full umami and body from the genshu (18-20.9% alcohol) and junmai style point to a rich, restrained sake. SMV +3 and the clean finish suggest a moderately dry profile.

About
A rich aroma with the acidity characteristic of yamahai (traditional yeast-starter method), and a full body of umami and richness that spreads across the palate the moment it touches the tongue. The finish is clean, and it pairs superbly not only with Japanese cuisine but also with Western dishes.
