Things from the past
Another quick update of things whose memory has faded with the passage of time😅😅
Finally, a beetle 🌈 flew into my hand ❗
The acidity of this and that 😆.
A little milder now? I think 🤔
Next up is Senkou 😊.
Sparkling fermented in the bottle: ☝️
It's a sparkling wine that is both dry and tart, and has a strong Sentori character 😊.
It's quite an unusual sake, but it reminds me of sparkling wine 😊.
This is... a delicious sake 😁.

I was able to drink "Kabutomushi" again this year without incident.
It is as delicious as ever.
It makes me feel like summer is about to start.
Looking forward to next year.
It's so hot every day I feel like I'm going to dry out 💦.
I had already decided to drink "Kuwagata" 🍶 and "Kabutomushi" was delicious 🤤💕.
Kabutomushi was also delicious 💕.
I wonder if there were fewer bottles of Kabutomushi this year than usual.
I heard it's because there are a lot of summer sake like Kuwagata and Fireworks 🙄.
But I'm looking forward to that too 😉✨️
Now - opening the bottle!
As the note says, it's shuwa shuwa in the bottle 🫧.
So much energy 😆.
Still, it took less than 2 minutes.
It smells like rice, or maybe apple in the lactic acidity 🐽.
In the mouth, an adult lemon soda.
Hmmm? Lemon sour 🍋.
It's refreshing 🍋.
The kind you can only drink in the summer 😁✌️
Today, I'm having a hamburger 😙.
It has a sweet and sour taste that is typical of Senkyoku, as well as a more robust rice flavor than expected. It has a slight carbonation, and the low alcohol content makes for a light overall drinking experience, but it can also be enjoyed on its own.
On Friday of the weekend, we had a sake party 🍶 with our company friends.
We brought in some sake that we couldn't drink at the restaurant 😁.
This is Aikoku from Senkyoku 🌾.
It's a sake brewed by reviving an ancient variety of Aikoku ✨.
When I opened the bottle the aroma wasn't that strong🤔.
Pour it into the sake cup... everyone guzzled it at once 🥰 and felt the harmony of sharpness and umami with the sourness🍋 that only SENKOUGOU can bring... everyone would grin 😁.
It was so fast because we all drank it together...but I bet it would be delicious with different tastes too 🤤.
But, as I said, drinking at home is good... but sometimes it was great to drink with friends while sharing the deliciousness 😀.
