A 90% polished junmai with SMV +6.5 and the description's 辛口 and キレ point to a dry, restrained profile with low aroma. The 滋味豊か rice character gives moderate body, placing it in the jun quadrant.

About

Joshu is the old provincial name for the area that roughly corresponds to present-day Gunma Prefecture. The land drains well and holds abundant groundwater, which nourishes many crops. A Mutenka (additive-free) junmai sake brewed from Gunma-grown rice polished to almost no degree. Rich in flavor yet with a sharp, clean finish, it is a classic dry sake.
