I can't help but think of it as a joke that doesn't look like a sake label!
A refreshing sweetness that is different from its cloudy white appearance
It's also a fun sake with a bit of a shwash!
SENKIN Yuki Dharma Nama Hashiroshi
Nigori Sake Nama
We bought it again this year. We opened it slowly for about a minute so that it wouldn't blow out.
Sweet, low acidity, low alcohol content, like a carbonated juice.
Screw stopper with a hole in it.
Additional time after the SENKYO✕UA limited edition sake party at shima&sake&coffee (1)
After all the drinks had been consumed, one of the other participants brought this year's version of the "Snowman" and we all enjoyed it together 🥰.
However, there was an incident here: ❕️
The first photo shows the gas escaping without opening the bottle because it was laid on its side while being brought to us, and its capacity was reduced to one third as shown in the first photo.
But everyone was curious about the taste even in this state, so we had some 🤣.
Sentori Snowball 2025 (out of gas)
Rich aroma, taste of lactobacillus drink and bitter aftertaste.
In a word, very rich 😋.
I'm sure there are people who would like this but it's a very high class drink.
No - but is it so much less 🤔?
Hi Jive, good evening😊.
I was at the liquor store the other day and picked up a bottle of Senkou Snowball at the register. I noticed a hole in the cap and asked, "Can I take this home on my bike at an angle?" I asked and was told flat out no and gave up 😭 correct?
Hi Jive, good evening 🦉🦉.
It must have been a shock to the person who brought it to you 😭 but then again, it's such a reduction 😳I'll keep in mind not to lay it down 🫡.
Takashi, correct answer: ⭕️
I think there are degrees of tilt, but I think it will most likely end up sad like the image above 🤔.
However, the taste and the schwashiness is delicious 🍶.
Hi Pon, good evening 🌛.
Only one of us was late to the party, so he was in a hurry to come to the store😅.
I'll never forget the look on your face the moment you took them out of the bag 🤔. I'll never forget his face when he took it out of the bag 🤔.
The first day of the 3-day weekend was spent at Senkou 😃.
I still like its freshness like pear 👍It was very good with clear and clean mouthfeel and lingering acidity 😁❣️
SENKYO✕UA Limited Sake Party at shima&sake&coffee
The last one is here 🍶 after the "Edo-togari" (Edo trip).
SENKOKU UA 1st 2024 AKA AKA, NAMAHASHIZUKURI".
It has a clear acidic aroma, a rich umami and acidity, and a refreshing aftertaste.
Personally, I think I like it better than "Ao" before "Edogari" 🤔.
Last but not least, the blue cheese pasta with pear and prosciutto ham.
The pasta is quite thin like somen noodles, and the salty flavor of the prosciutto and blue cheese is delicious 😋.
That's the end of the review in a nutshell, but we're back to the aditional time section 🤣.
Hi Gyve, hello here too!
Thank you for the review of Senkou's drinking comparison 🎵.
I'm interested in the back sparkler and the red dragonfly: ⤴️
By the way, you drank a lot 😲.
Even more addictive 😁✨
Hi Gyve, howdy 😃.
We've almost never had UA 😅 so your review is helpful 🤗 even with the long aditional time, Kochira doesn't want the ref to blow the whistle😇.
Hey Jay & Nobby 🌛!
It was my first time to taste the UA Collaboration Sentori, so it was great to be able to compare ✨.
Everyone who participated in the event was overflowing with [Tochigi love 🥰] 🤣.
SENKYO O✕ UA Limited Sake Party at shima&sake&coffee (8)
The eighth and ninth drinks were a rare comparison of the two sakes before and after SENKYO's return to the Edo period.
SENKOKU UA 1st 2024 Ao Hayasozo Hashizukuri
The aroma is soft and mild with a sourness that is typical of Sengoku, and the mouthfeel is moist with sweetness and umami, followed by a crisp acidity and a clean aftertaste.
See below for comparison.
SENKYO O✕ UA Limited Sake Party at shima&sake&coffee (7)
The seventh drink was our latest creation 🍶.
Sengoku UA 1st 2025ver
It has a fresh acidic aroma, a gassy mouthfeel, a refreshing sourness similar to the woody flavor of "Shinmasa", and a sweetness that finishes with a sour bitterness.
Since I drank it right after the 2023ver, I got the impression that it was quite lively and fresh 😋.
Pairing: Smoked salmon with orange
A dish that matches the delicious flavor of smoked salmon with the acidity of citrus fruits. ✨️
SENKYO O✕ UA Limited Sake Party at shima&sake&coffee (6)
This is a sake party at shima&sake&coffee, where four different types of "UA 1st" sake are compared according to their age.
SENKOKU UA 1st 2023ver
The aroma is a little beetle-like, the mouthfeel is gassy, the acidity is clean, the flavor is mild and lingering, and the finish is refreshingly acidic, just like Sentori.
It is not twisted even though it has been aged for almost 2 years 🤔.
SENKYO✕UA Limited Sake Party at shima&sake&coffee (5)
The fifth sake was a nearly one year old sake!
Sentori Yukidaruma.
The aroma is a bit briny, the mouthfeel is gassy, the taste is refreshingly sour, and it finishes with the lingering bitterness of a calorie-free lactobacillus drink.
The gaseous and gaseous sensation is still there after a year 🥰.
This is one that leads to a certain shocking development later on 🤣.
SENKYO✕UA Limited Sake Party at shima&sake&coffee (4)
Here is the fourth sake of the mid-part of the event!
Sentori Akatombo
The aroma is tinged with a sourness that is typical of Sentori, and the mouthfeel is moist and umami, with a sharp acidity that is typical of Sentori.
As the temperature rises, it has a slightly fannish sweetness.
Pairing: Apples and prosciutto cream cheese.
The chopped prosciutto ham is also inside the olives, which makes this a difficult dish to pair with.
When paired with "Akatombo", the sweetness of the apple and the flavor of the wooden vat combine to create a pleasant acidity.
Hey Jive, howdy 😃.
Excellent red dragonfly for the relay! This will tighten up the game again 🤗I've never had sake🍶 with this kind of pairing, so I'd like to try it once 😌.
Jay & Nobby, thanks again 🌛.
Pairing events are not often an opportunity to attend, so we were very grateful for this one 🥰.
And I was really surprised at how inexpensive the entry fee was considering all this content ✨.
SENKYO✕UA Limited Sake Party at shima&sake&coffee (3)
Still the third drink of the first half of the event
Sentori Urasenkohanabi
The first half of the glass has a lactic acid aroma that seems to be dissolving, and the first mouthful has a mild sweetness that fades out to a slightly narrower acidity with a firm sweet aftertaste.
The balance is quite pleasing when drunk on its own, and personally, it is my favorite of all the sake I drank that day.
But I wonder if the "gorgeousness" comes out more than the "fragility" and "wabi" that "sparkler" has 🤔.
SENKYO O✕ UA Limited Sake Party at shima&sake&coffee (2)
We had so much fun that we gave up posting in real time 🤣.
The order of the sake served at the event was as shown in the second page of the lineup chart.
The order of the second sake was as follows.
Senkou - Senkohana (sparkling firework)
The aroma is like a soda-laced rumney or a pineapple, and the mouthfeel has a slight gaseous feeling.
It is more like a sparkler flickering faintly in your hand than a gorgeous fireworks display in the summer night sky.
I feel somewhat wistful 🤔
Pairing: Blue Cheese Bucket with Pear and Apple
When eaten by itself, the blue cheese bucket has the saltiness and flavor of blue cheese, but when eaten with pears and apples, the blue cheese loses its peculiarity and the fruity flavor increases, giving it a more dessert-like feel 😋.
Jay & Nobby, thanks 🌛.
The order in which the food was served was also thought up by [shima-san], so we honestly took it in that order 🥰.
The pairing dishes were also a little more thoughtful and went well with each drink ✨.
