Senzuke Junmai ROCK
Unusual sake for the rocks.
The alcohol content is normal at 16%, but straight up, it is quite gutsy.
But when served on the rocks, Senzuke's typical sweetness stands out. The sweetness stands out.
This is interesting. 😍😍
It's the perfect sake for a very hot summer.
Mmmm, delicious 😋.
I almost went through with it because I've taken it in the past, but it looks like the specs have changed, so I bought it.
Thanks for letting me know 🥺.
The differences from when I drank it before are
Alcohol: 16 degrees Celsius → 13 degrees Celsius
Kake rice is Hyogo Sake85 -> Hyogo Nishiki
According to Mr. Ikoma's explanation, it is a four-stage brewing process using amazake (sweet sake).
When poured into a glass, a large amount of microbubbles appear.
It's a low alcohol at 13 degrees, but you don't feel it. Slightly effervescent, with a rummy sweetness.
No pungency at all.
Too easy to drink.
But the taste has changed so much after 3 days of opening the bottle...
The bitterness is very strong.
Hello, Matsuchiyo-san ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
I think you are probably right about it being amazake. I'm not sure of the details since Ikoma-san is the only one who mentions this 😅.
Hi Pon 😃
I see that Takimoto had it in stock 😊.
It's a summer sake but not a thin sake, which is also a high point for me personally 😋.
Some Senzuke products are sold out at the warehouse at the time of shipment so the early bird gets the worm 🥳.
Hi bouken 🐥.
I don't know when the deal started, but there was a bottle at my local Saito Sake store 😳I was ready to lose face after 3 days 😅I was so worried I had to pick it up 🤭I have to report this to J&N as well.
Hello Kotori-san ☀☀☀☀
I see you are on the instagram of Saito Sake Shop 🤔.
Is it a spot shipment?
I was surprised at the gap because the original is too good, but the taste itself is not bad since it is safe and trustworthy Senzuke 😁.
Senzuke Tokubetsu Junmai White Koji Unfiltered Nama-shu
The aroma is typical of nama sake with the smell of vinegar and ethyl acetate 😆 The gasiness is rather strong!
The gasiness is rather strong! And the sweetness is quite strong! It's not fruity, but rather a refreshing sweetness of a soft drink type! It's not fruity, but rather a refreshing sweetness of a soft drink 😉 .
I also feel a strong acidity, probably because it is a sake made with white malted rice!
It's my first time to buy this brand, but I bought a new variant! Now I want to drink the standard product too! I'd like to drink the regular one next time!
Fresh on the palate with a pleasant cider-like aroma and a gentle sweetness.
A lingering aftertaste that gently melts away like powdered snow.
A cup with a clean acidity that keeps the taste from becoming blurred.
Looking back on the drinks like this, it's been sweltering hot Osaka for the past 2 months 🥵.
I was looking for a shuwa shuwa supper on this day too 😅.
I drank this Senzuke White Koji last year, and it's still delicious this year 😊.
The rice flavor spreading out and the dry and shuwa shuwa feeling washed it down, this is summer 😆💕.
I drank it all up with a huge amount of tasty Nanbanzuke 😋😋.
Hey, Wakata-san 😃!
I'd like to try the white koji active Nigori ‼️, it's definitely a delicious one 😋 and Senzuke, whom we adore, would love to drink it 🥹.
Jay & Nobby, good evening here too 😃Sensuke, I see you admired me ✨You are very discerning ✨I haven't seen you in a while, the equation of active nigori = absolutely delicious 😁.
Location: Nada Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture
Type of sake: Junmai-shu
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 65
Yeast used: Unknown
Alcohol percentage: 16
Sake meter: unknown
Sake cup: Inokuchi
Appearance: Crystal
Rating (Scale: 1-3)
Aroma: +1.0 (lactic acid, cooked rice, green banana, white dumpling-like aroma)
Body: 2.0
Acid: 2.0 (mainly lactic acidic)
Sweetness: 1.5
Umami: 2.0
Bitterness: 1.5
Aftertaste: Slightly short. Alcoholic sweetness remains.
Impression: Mellow and slightly light
It has a unique design of being a draft sake designed to be drunk on the rocks, but we drank it normally with an oinokuchi (cup). The koji ratio is high at 22%, which gives it a more koji-like flavor. Drinking it chilled, the acidity and umami are well-balanced and tightened, so it may have a structure that makes it hard to get tired of drinking even in the summer. It has a somewhat nostalgic rice aroma, and is a bottle with a mixture of classic and modern flavors. I actually tried drinking it on the rocks, but the acidity increases, giving it more of a summer sake feel.
Pairing impression:
I had it with cold beef shabu salad, and the sweet aftertaste combined with the umami flavor was a nice touch.
Repeat Score (1-3): 2.0
This is your first issue.
I bought a packet without a second thought.
It is said to be for rock only, so I will drink it on the rocks.
The impression is quite dry. There is almost no sweetness and it has a sour taste. It is good on the rocks, but I will also try it with soda.
It was recommended to drink it on the rocks, but I usually had it cold.
Aroma of 🍍
Good balance of sweetness and umami.
Sourness can be felt well.
Sake with a lingering finish
