Wow this is underated. First genshu for me an I enjoyed it quite a bit. Drank with ilovedarkbeer. Pours clear with amazingly strong, long lasting legs. Aroma of sweet rice, quite a lot of fruit, vanilla and some bananans and mild pineapple. Taste is very sweet and smooth, with well concealed alcohol. Very smooth mouthfeel, somewhere in between creamy and syrupy.

May 12, 2008 Big thanks to maniac for sharing this second to last of our Sake styles. Great aroma, sweet with a nice fruit accent. Slight yellow tint to the sake. Taste is excellent, smooth with a banana hint. Warm alcohol ending.

May 8, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Bman1113VR. My first genshu. Pours clear with a faint yellow hue. Best legs I have ever seen on a sake, very persistant. Nose is sweet and fruity with rice and alcohol and some bananas. Taste is sweet and banana esque but alcoholic which leads us to conclude "bananas foster". Very smooth and drinkable, freakisly so at 18%. Nice warming finish. Very nice.
