"Jukusei" means it was aged, so this Sake was purposefully released after it sat there for awhile. "Nama" means that is was not pasteurized. "Genshu" means alcohol was added but it wasn't watered back down like your average Honjozo, so it's got a rather high ABV of 19%. And HOOOO BOOOOY. It's full bodied with a mellow mouthfeel and perfectly balanced acidity. There's cooked apple, stewed plums, cinnamon, vanilla extract, pie crust, and on the finish there's a little splash of raspberry sauce. This Saké is some kind of apple/plum pie crossover and it's just so very good. It's one of the more expressive, different, and intriguing Sake's I've had since I started my interest in the category. I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner, but I absolutely would recommend it to an explorer like myself. It's fucking fantastic.

The Kikusui Nama Genshu Gold is excellent, the Red is beyond excellent, but the Black is sublime. To steal a tagline from "Becherovka," the Czech herbal liqueur: "Not for the General Public." Serve ice cold, keep in a fridge until ready to drink, then into the freezer for 30 minutes, and wait. Trust me, it will be worth the wait. By the last sip, you will have ascended Mount Fuji, grasshopper.
