Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The described thick, rich texture of nigori, together with SMV -3 and 17% alcohol, points to a full-bodied, sweet sake with restrained aroma. The unpasteurized nama style and 60% polishing add some freshness but no strong fruity lift.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
