Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
The 65% polished junmai genshu with SMV +3, acidity 1.3, and a description of rich umami and astringency points to restrained aroma and a full body. The near-neutral dryness and moderate acidity suggest a slightly sweet, softening impression that develops over time.
Estimated by AI from the published specifications and the brewery's description; your impression may differ.
About
Through a production technique that emphasizes structure, the acidity and flavor are firm. Although it is a new sake, the umami and astringency combine to give a rich, full-bodied impression. Because it is a namazake (unpasteurized sake), its sweetness gradually increases and its flavor changes over time, so it can also be enjoyed for these shifts. It is enjoyed at room temperature or chilled. Once opened, this unpasteurized sake is prone to changes in flavor and character due to oxidation, so unless you wish to enjoy these changes, we recommend drinking it soon after opening.
