Flavor profile Jun-shu
RestrainedAromatic
RichLight
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
An SMV of -10 points to sweetness, but the firm yamahai acidity dries the finish and tightens the palate, especially when warmed. Restrained aroma with rice-driven richness from 74% polishing places it in the jun (restrained and rich) quadrant.

About
Firm acidity keeps the finish light and crisp. When warmed to atsukan (hot sake), the flavor firms up noticeably, becoming more tightly defined.
