Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The description's emphasis on umami, fullness and crisp finish matches the dry SMV of 7 to 8 and the 55% junmai profile. This points to restrained aroma, a full umami-led body and a dry, mid-rich character, placing it in the jun quadrant.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Yamagata Masamune places importance on a clean finish, and this reasonably priced junmai sake is made with Dewa Sansan rice to achieve a full, rounded breadth of flavor and a crisp finish. It is well suited to pairing with meals. Brewed in small tanks and fermented slowly at low temperature, this carefully made sake achieves a good balance between solid rice umami and delicate acidity. For those drinking Yamagata Masamune for the first time, this is recommended.
