I won't go into details, but it is a very particular sake.
I thought it would be a more profound umami-guchi sake,
Clear & mild
but it was clear, mild, juicy, and light.
It was quite a well-balanced sake.
It was delicious. ‼️

Junqing and Purple Space
First, Junsei's light green label.
We had this two years ago, and it was still a dry sake.
I thought it would be a good pairing to contrast with the sweetness of Murasaki Sake.
The chef served us a side dish of karasumi (dried young sardines) to go with the sake!
Thank you very much!

Along with Hyogo Koishiki and Hyogo Kitanishiki, it is known as one of the three major Nishiki in Hyogo. Hyogo Yume-Nishiki is the result of crossing F2 rice, a cross between Kikuei and Yamadanishiki, with Hyotei 23. It is grown mainly in the Nishi-Harima region.

Junsei Hyogo-Yume-Nishiki Namaisho Junmai Ginjo Orikarami
This is an orikarami version of the sake we posted earlier!
The basic specs are the same, but it shows such a different expression that it is hard to believe it is the same sake.
The lees are intertwined with the sake, and the mildness, sweetness, and juicy flavor on the palate are strongly felt, but there is a strong sense of gas that stimulates the tongue, and the finish is very crisp.

Junsei Hyogo-Yume-Nishiki Namaisho Junmai-Ginjo Unfiltered Direct Kumi
This junmai ginjo is made from "Hyogo-Yume-Nishiki" grown under contract in Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture, and soft water nurtured by the topography of Banshu, using the "Namo Hashiroshi" method of brewing, which has been handed down since the Edo period and involves raising lactic acid bacteria that live in the brewery!
The aroma is sweet and refreshing, with a hint of muscatel and melon!
The sharp rice flavor, refreshing sweetness, and refreshing acidity are superbly balanced!
The fresh mouthfeel of freshly squeezed sake, a slight gasiness, and a pleasant astringent taste that does not linger, makes this a bottle with good sharpness, and you can enjoy the mellow umami while enjoying a refreshing taste.

It is an unfiltered orikaware sake. As the name suggests, it is GALAXY with stars scattered in the night sky, slightly cloudy and slightly carbonated, which is only possible with fresh sake.
When you drink it, there is no doubt that it tastes fresh and delicious.
It was a satisfying bottle with a smooth taste that went down the throat easily.
I had an image of Junqing as a sake with a strong umami flavor, but after drinking it for the first time in a long time, I found it to be a very well-balanced sake.
Not too sweet, not too spicy, not too umami, not too acidic, it is a versatile sake.
