Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven

The junmai designation, 60% polishing, SMV +4 and acidity 1.5, together with the description of a dry sake that draws out rice umami, point to restrained aroma, full savory body and low sweetness. The muroka nama genshu style adds freshness without making it aromatic, so it sits in the jun quadrant.

Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
