Sanzenzori is a local sake from Gifu. Nigori junmai, junmai daiginjo, with a gentle opening in the hole, but bubbles stand out in the chirori poured. The aroma is citrusy and pleasing. As one would expect from Sanzenmori, it has a dry mouthfeel with a slight sweetness, followed by a sourness. It is not a "mottari" nigori, but although there is a nigori, the sake by itself seems light.
It is the first time I have tasted sake that the aroma is fluffy and disappears quickly, leaving behind a slightly bitter taste. This is the first time I've tasted sake with this flavor. It is easy to drink if you drink it well, so it is good to drink with strong-flavored food and pickles.
A home liner to Shizuoka makes you feel a little richer.
Sanzenzori has a clear taste, but it also makes its presence felt later on. I recently purchased a bottle at the Aishin Tunnel Group and am enjoying it in Shizuoka.
It has a fresh ginjo aroma that is typical of new sake, a hint of fresh green apple flavor, and a delicious umami flavor, with an accent of sourness on the back end.
It is a dry, refreshing mid-meal sake that can be served with any accompaniment 😋.
Strongly acidic aroma.
The mouthfeel is a little watery, and the acidity stands out.
There is no sweetness, but a light umami and a strong bitterness that continues.
The mouthfeel is relatively alcoholic.
3.5/5
This is the first time I received this famous sake from Gifu.
The label is also impressive and cool.
It is said to be super dry.
How does it taste?
Well, when I drank it, I found that it was indeed Super Dry.
It was a good sake!
