It seems to be read as "jokon". It seems to be a more concentrated version of aged sake. It has an amber color like Shaoxing sake. The aroma is of soy sauce, tortoiseshell candy, smoke, and shiitake mushrooms like Shaoxing sake, with a fresh aroma like sake. The attack is strong and the texture is smooth. The alcohol content of 38ºC is comparable to that of whiskey, but it is less harsh and has a sweetness that makes it easy to drink. Unlike Shaoxing wine, the acidity is present. When water is added, it becomes more like Shaoxing wine. The aftertaste is slightly sulfuric. It is quite an interesting sake.
