Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
Caramel, smoky and bitter chocolate notes from long amber aging point to a complex, mature profile rather than fruity ginjo aromatics. The aged koshu character and 35% polish give a full, rich body and noticeable sweetness despite the SMV of +5.

About
A Junmai Daiginjo aged slowly in a specially made porcelain kame jar, resulting in an amber-hued koshu (aged sake) of rich, mellow character. Its complex flavor is a fine interplay of caramel-like sweetness and smoky, bittersweet notes reminiscent of dark chocolate. Even after 10 years of aging, the refined aroma of Kyoto's water lingers on the nose. Koji rice: 35%, kake rice (rice added to the mash): 35%
