My favorite Senzuke. This is my first time to try autumn sake.
I am looking forward to it too much!
First glass after opening the bottle.
Sorry if I'm wrong. It smells like wasanbon, which I have recently learned to love.
The first impression when you drink it is that it is full of acidity. It is not sweet.
It may go well with any dishes!
The aftertaste is crisp. It lingers for a while.
Dry Senzuke is also good!
It is delicious!
Senzuke Tokubetsu Junmai Aki-Agari Dry Harakuchi Genshu/Ichibiki
Rating 4.4
Alcohol level: 15%, Sake meter: +5 to +6, Acidity: 2.3, Rice: Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture, Polishing ratio: 65
This limited edition autumn sake is made from 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture. It has a dry, mellow taste. It can be served cold or warmed in a wide range of temperatures.
It has softened somewhat with aging, but has a firm profile with a good taste of rice. The acidity and convergence of the flavors are firm, making it easy to pair with autumnal meals.
Slightly carbonated and sweet. Sour and sweet like yogurt. I heard that nigori sake has stopped fermenting, but active nigori sake is still fermenting.
Senzuke Active Nigori for the 3rd year in a row 😆.
This is delicious ✨
If you're not careful, it will run out soon😅
Oh, it's from Tenmei's brewery!
I wanted to drink Tenmei x Machida Shuzo but they didn't have it in stock 😨.
but they didn't have it in stock 😨.
Oh well.
Noge (4)
At the fourth restaurant in Noge, we had our last sake of the day,
We decided to finish with a refreshing sake, didn't we? Senzuke Super Dry Sake
Naturally, it's refreshing and dry!
I can also taste the acidity!
This is 17 degrees!
Is it crisp and dry?
This is the last sake, but it's still late in the evening..,
We went to one more Chinese izakaya and had some spicy mapo doufu (hot bean curd) with a choice of spiciness, and then split up!
As usual, we had a lot of fun and drank too much 🤣.
Hi ichiro18 😊
Three of my high school classmates and I had a great time at our regular Noge barhago-zake 🤣.
You're right, you know Goen 🥳Noge still has a lot to explore 🥰.
Hi Takashi 😃
If we start at 12:00 and the starter skips 😋 it could easily be a double...or even triple header 🤗.
If it's baseball ⚾️ it's a tough fight, but if it's friend drinking it's a fun time ‼️ or the day after it's tough 😆.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊.
Yesterday was another fun time from 12:00 to 6:30pm 🥰.
The day can be dangerous, both on foot and in memory, but somehow after a good night's sleep, I feel better the next morning 🥳I woke up early again this morning, biking, playing tennis 🎾.
Good evening, Mr. Takashi 🌛.
I've had "Senzuke Super Spicy" before and it tasted so easy that it didn't seem like 17°. ✨️
The "Mapo Tofu" which you can choose the spiciness looks delicious and it would be interesting to have it with "Sensuke" as well 🥰.
Hi Gyve, good evening 😊.
Yes, the Senzuke Super Spicy could just barely match the Bean Curd 😆.
But I'm pretty sure I made the mapo tofu 5 spicy out of the available up to 20 spicy, but my mouth was still spicy on the train ride home 😝.
Commentary.
Senzuke's popular seasonal sake, "Special Junmai White Koji Unfiltered Nama-shu," is made by filtering the unrefined sake must through a coarse filter and bottling it raw with a large amount of cloudy white oli, which allows the sake to continue fermentation in the bottle, resulting in a sparkling sake with a high carbon dioxide content.
The fresh and fizzy gas feeling.
The crisp acidity derived from white malted rice and light sweetness.
The clear sake portion is refreshingly sweet and acidic. If you mix in the ori, it becomes juicy.
The alcohol content is low at 13 degrees Celsius, which makes the sake go down a treat.
It took about 5 minutes to open the bottle.
Easy to drink and delicious.
