Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The text describes a deliberately restrained aroma that lets the concentrated rice strength of a 40% polished Yamada Nishiki junmai daiginjo come forward, pointing to a savory, full profile rather than fruity lift. Expect restrained aroma, medium-full body and dry-leaning sweetness.

About
In recent years, yeasts that can easily produce striking aromas have been developed, and aromatic sake has become a popular trend. This Junmai Daiginjo is made from Yamada Nishiki, the finest sake rice, polished to 40%. It is the most expensive product in the brewery's lineup in terms of raw material cost. In an era when highly aromatic sake is the trend, this sake was deliberately finished with a restrained aroma so that the richness of the rice flavor comes through. The defining characteristic of Tamagawa's ginjo range as a whole is that they are aji ginjo (ginjo designed to pair well with food). The Daiginjo class is no exception. With its restrained aroma and calm flavor, it works well alongside a wide variety of meals.
