Good morning, hello, good evening, hi, it's been a while. I am Piro!
On July 5, Jay hosted and I participated in the Sake-no-wa Tochigi Prefectural Meeting.
I'm thankful for Jay and Mrs. Nobby who always call me up even though I've been neglecting the sakewa for over a year now 🥲.
It was my birthday that day, so Mr. and Mrs. Nobby prepared some props for me and took some commemorative photos for me.
As you can see in the picture, we had a lot of drinks, but the good time passed so fast........
I got a souvenir from Sashiu-san, but I left it at the venue, and I got a birthday present from Ars-san, but I left that at the venue as well.
I drank a lot, so I was exhausted in the second half...,
I hope I will be invited to another Kenmin-kai...,
That's why this was my last post on Sake-no-wa.
Mr. Piro, thank you for the other day😊and it was your birthday! Happy birthday to you! Don't worry about the souvenirs! I will bring you some more😄 See you again!
Hi Piro 😃
First post in about a year and a half 😳 If you got to see this, you might be lucky enough to have drawn a rare card 😆.
I didn't think it would be such a successful party after we had a couple of drinks at the holy place Kurata 😅.
Let's do it again ‼️
Senkou's rhinoceros beetle
A little while ago, but successfully captured again this year
The smell of ripe citrus fruits is enough to lower your body temperature by about 5 degrees Celsius.
My wife said she could drink it because it's cool and not like sake in a good way.
I can recommend this sake to those who don't like sake.
It's worth walking in this hot weather!

Takachiyo brought some to the izakaya (Japanese-style pub) where she works.
and we all had a drink together!
Clear and dry
Slight aroma, smooth attack. Taste: clear and dry, with a bit of acidity. It goes in smoothly and has a light richness.
It has a light mouthfeel that is typical of Sentori. It is easy to drink 🤣.
Good evening chikumo 😃
I knew that we are now the main source of sake 🤔 but I didn't feel that it became more acidic 😅.
I have a totally stupid tongue 😆.

Next is Aikoku by Sengoku! The aroma is more fruity than that of Houou Mita. The aroma is more fruity than Hououmida's and there is a slight lactic acidity. When you drink it, you will taste the beautiful sweetness, the sourness from the umami that is typical of Senkyoku, and the bitterness😊The aftertaste is also very sharp. It is also easy to drink and goes down smoothly. But it also has the taste of sake. This is a quintessential SENKYO! Both have a flavor that is typical of the brewery.

My favorite Sentori's standard sake. SENKYO MODERN.
It has a gorgeous sweetness typical of Yamada-Nishiki, a sourness typical of Sengoku, and a depth of flavor from the sake yeast.
I am always told how delicious it is, so I will try to keep my comments to a minimum.
Thank you very much.
Sentori today. Natur X Sparkling.
A vigorous sake that blows out a bit when opened. The wildness is more apparent when compared to Kubota Suiju, which we happened to drink earlier.
Rough but cohesive, it is a very energetic sake.
The sake is alive!
Second day after opening the bottle.
The fierceness of the first day is gone. It's quiet. The sake is still alive!
The stag beetle from the United Arrows collaboration with Senkou.
I bought it because I thought I would not be able to buy it if I missed out now.
Surprisingly, I was able to open the bottle in a couple of minutes.
It has the full-blown acidity and sparkling sensation that is typical of Sentori,
It is delicious with a silky feeling peculiar to nigori.
Is the stag beetle also due to the sake yeast?
Mild mouthfeel
but it also has a bitterness (like citrus peel)
It also has a certain amount of bitterness
My personal preference.

Slightly sour and sweet, crisp and refreshing.
For those who like strong rice aroma and koji flavor
It may not be enough for you.
However, after it goes down your throat, you may feel like, "Hey, I just drank sake, didn't I? You will be wrapped in a refreshing aftertaste.
