Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The low acidity (1.2) and SMV of roughly +1 to +3 give a soft, gently sweet impression, while the 60% polishing ratio keeps the rice character and body. Its restrained aroma and warming-friendly fullness place it in the jun (restrained, rich) category.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
The sake was selected by the magazine Nikkei Trendy as one of five honjozo brands to enjoy warmed (kan). Its profile was designed with careful consideration of the balance among all factors, including the rice polishing ratio. For warming, heat it slowly in a water bath, which brings out its flavor even more.
