Flavor profile Juku-shu
Juku-shu — aromatic and full-bodied, including aged sake
The described pear and strawberry aromas and round umami, together with 17-18% alcohol, point to a high-aroma, moderately full style. An SMV of +5 to 6 leans dry, but the low acidity of 1.3 softens the palate and suggests a gently sweet impression.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Top-grade Yamada Nishiki from Akitsu (秋津), the finest tier of Hyogo Prefecture's Special A grade rice, polished to 35% and carefully brewed as a Daiginjo. Fresh aromas of pear and strawberry lead into a smooth, rounded, umami-rich flavor. It is a graceful, dignified bottle with depth. In 1995 it won the Grand Prize in the Daiginjo division of the All-Japan Nihonshu Contest sponsored by Tokusengai (特選街). Please chill in the refrigerator before serving.
