This will be a comment from an amateur sake lover. Today, here is Senkou, which is based on a creation from the Edo period. They are trying to make an old and new sake. If this tastes the same as it did in the past, it will be quite delicious and flavorful. It is a heavy, dry sake, but it has a wonderful balance that leaves you feeling refreshed. Today I made homemade dried gourds and processed fish to make sushi, so I paired it with a sake that I thought would be a good match, and the sake was as robust as the fish and shoyu. The alcohol content is not high, but it has a robust flavor. I am thankful that I can drink good sake in good health today.
Good morning, Tom in Tokyo😃!
That's amazing! You handled and made your own sushi 🍣 and rolls 😍Great job ‼️
I think dry sake 🍶 would go well with it 😋Modern Sentori was perfect 🤗.
Jay & Nobis,
Thank you for your message. I am very grateful for your message. When I couldn't drink alcohol at the sushi restaurant in Corona, I decided to fish and make sushi by myself, and through trial and error, I've come to this day.
At my favorite liquor store, they had Senkou's Senkohana on the shelf, but they had a bottle of the back side 😊 I wanted to compare it with the front side.
I wanted to compare it with the front, but there was a limit to buy one bottle from either the front or the back, so I bought the back because I thought it was the only one I could find!
I was told that it is an ogara-mi, so I will start with the top clear 🥂.
The top nose has a refreshing lemon-like citrus aroma 🍋.
The lemon aroma is leading the nose, and there is also a slight gentle aroma of white peach 🤔.
Gasiness is small to slightly medium 🫧.
The sweetness is small, the acidity is medium to slightly strong, the umami is small, and the bitterness at the end is slightly strong.
When mixed with ori, the top aroma has calmed down a little and a gentle aroma like white peaches, which had been hidden 🍑, has emerged.
The gentle aroma of white peach became more prominent than the citrus aroma, and the acidity also calmed down a bit and the elegant sweetness became more noticeable 😊.
The umami and sweetness are more noticeable than the sourness, and after mixing the cage, the overall flavor is more cohesive, making the cup go down a bit more quickly ✨.
The acidity is more subdued than on the surface, and the focus is more on the umami and sweetness, which I thought would be good for everyone!
This is so good! ☺️
It was one of the top 3 tastiest sakes I've had this year 🍶.
I had some special sushi from a nearby supermarket to go with it ✨.
Good evening, Chirsta!
I had heard that the back/sparkler was sweeter and tastier, but you raved about it 😍The review looks great too...Sake is great to drink while eating sushi!
Good morning ichiro18 😃.
The front side was delicious, but the back side was more cohesive and I personally prefer it!
It was sweet and tasty with a low acidity, so it was a perfect match for sushi. ☺️
Hi, Chirsta 😃.
You're a tough liquor store to choose between front or back 😅.
But if you say so, I'll take the back 🤗Top 3 of this year as of September are highly rated 🤗.
I also like the sushi 🍣 that's packed with so much food!
Good evening Jay & Nobby 🌇.
It was the ultimate choice, but the waitress recommended the back side, and I was impressed with the right taste 😊.
I'm sad that the supermarket that sells this sushi is closing at the end of this month😭.
Hello, Chirsta 😃.
I was waiting for the back sparkler! It's that good 😋It's pretty high to be in the top 3 best of the year 😳I'm kinda curious about that 😆 I'd love to try it but I don't think I can 💦 jealous ✨.
It is hard to find in Tokyo anymore and I happened to get it in Utsunomiya. It is sparkling and has a lactic acidity in the front. I enjoyed it very much, but I would like more people to know how delicious Senkou is. It has the best balance of sourness and sweetness.

Senkohana, which we received again this year, and I still like Senkou-san lol.
It is a summer sake that is shipped at the end of summer, and this citrusy taste is very good for you in the lingering summer heat.
It tastes similar to Sengoku Retro, with a strong lime flavor, yet it has a calm mouthfeel, so it sinks right in.
Kabutomushi has a strong acidity and a refreshing taste, and you can enjoy the difference in taste.
This year, there is also a "Ura-Senko-Hanabi," so I am looking forward to that as well.
Thank you very much for the dinner.
