Juyondai, Funatare Honnama Junmai Ginjo 1800ML

The Juyondai, Funatare Honnama Junmai Ginjois a seasonally-produced, highly sought-after sake known for its vibrant freshness, rich fruit aromas, and smooth, velvety texture derived from being an unfiltered, unpasteurizednamazake (fresh sake).

It presents a complex and inviting fruity aroma, with top notes often described as an aromatic blend of muscat grapes, apples, pineapples, and bananas.

Upon the first sip, it has a slightly smooth, medium-plus body with an almost syrupy or creamy texture that envelops the palate with a lively sweetness. Flavors include white peaches, melons, and hints of sweet citrus, balanced by a subtle backdrop of rich white peach sweetness and a mild bitterness.

The finish is clean and refreshing, with hints of green apple and fresh banana-like fruitiness lingering in the mouth.
