Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The description stresses strong umami and acidity and recommends warming, pointing to a restrained aroma and a full body. An SMV of +2 suggests a moderately dry profile, and the 70% polishing ratio supports a rice-forward character.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Rich in umami and acidity. We recommend drinking it hot (atsukan). Because it has acidity, it is surprisingly drinkable as kanzamashi (sake that has been warmed and then left to cool). It was released in the Showa era and has grown older alongside the Umebijin brand. The label design has not changed since its release.
