Jinyu 100 Poems Junmai Ginjo

Clean aroma of rainwater and sugar. Full bodied, light sweetness. Flavor of banana and cake icing without being overly sweet. Sweetest on the mid palate, smooth transition to finish with lingering sweetness but no sticky feeling. Subtle flavors but strong in body and overall sweetness. Might work with stronger flavored fish for sushi, or grilled chicken and fish. A rather interesting and drinkable sake.

Hananomai Junmai Ginjo

Light nose of rainwater and apricot. Fairly sweet, medium body, fairly dry. Mild floral and mineral tastes at front, strange and overly sweet finish. Ok with fruit, may also work with sweet and spicy dishes or a cheese plate. Other than a discordant finish, is a nice, mildly sweet sake. Could work with the right pairing, but probably not a drinking sake.

Takara Fune (Treasure Ship) Junmai Ginjo Sake

300 mL bottle

Predominantly vanilla and rainwater nose. Mild melon and white grapes, vanilla, rice. Medium to medium heavy body. Some legs, soft, fairly heavy umami/mouthfeel. Pretty focused, peppery finish which fades to a lingering and slightly unpleasant bitterness that's at odds with the other flavors. Drinkable, but not worth a premium. Try with tempura seafood and vegetables or salty appetizers, maybe grilled shisho.
