Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
The 50% polished junmai daiginjo with yamahai brewing and descriptions of strength and umami points to a full, rich body. The restrained ginjo aroma suggests moderate fragrance and a fairly dry, not sweet, profile.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
A sake that combines the power of natural brewing (shizen jikomi) with a graceful, restrained ginjo aroma. It shows many faces depending on serving temperature and the food it is paired with, and it works well across a wide range of temperatures and dishes. The dragon label, an original design by Katsusuke Sakane, expresses the umami rising up from the glass.
