There was also an orikarami, but I went for the direct-kumi version.
It is not so much a clear sake as a hazy one.
It has the lightness of a new sake, as well as an acidity and umami that give it depth.
It is indeed Fukunishiki that you never get tired of drinking.
The color is clear. Slightly cloudy?
The aroma is calm but rich. It has a strong banana flavor. A little citrus acidity and sweet floral aroma.
The taste is also rich. The balance is better now that the bottle has settled down a little than right after opening. The sweetness and acidity are pleasant, but not overpowering. The sweetness and bitterness that comes afterwards is also well balanced and the texture is nice and crisp.
I wouldn't warm it up, but I think it would be good warmed up as well.
Junsei is well-balanced and nice. It is a delicious sake. If you want to drink it cold, maybe 15℃ is better.
