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
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
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.

My favorite Senzuke.
It is a summer sake, Blue Label.
We had it at the store last year. This time I bought a bottle! I can drink a lot of it.
The aroma is apple. It smells like sweet chewing gum.
I guess it's still apple when I include it~!
Well, it is delicious!
There is no gassy feeling.
It is sweet and fruity. However, it is refreshing when you finish it.
All Senzuke is delicious~!
Pekkar, I'm so glad to see you 😃.
I have not seen you in Utsunomiya and I have been longing for Jay Senzuke! If this happens, I would like you to go to my hometown 😋.
Hello ICHIRO18!
Senzuke was the sake that was recommended to me when I first started drinking sake. I was very impressed! It is a brand that I have a strong emotional attachment to.
ichiro18, your map of Hyogo is very dense! As a resident of the prefecture, I am happy to see it!
Sakai Bring Your Own Off-line Meeting 2025④.
Sake I brought
This is the first sake brewed with Omachi by Sensuke.
Not from Okayama, but from Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture.
It came with a box, but I threw it away because I originally planned to drink it at home😅.
Everyone said it was different from Senzuke's usual sake.
Maybe it's because it's fire-aged, but it tastes a little more subdued.
There is also a draft version of this, but the draft is only available in one bottle...
I tasted the draft when I bought it, but it tasted more flashy than the hi-ire.
I think people probably liked the raw one better 🤔 because it was more of a yo-yosu-like strain.
Next time please release the raw in shugou bottles too 🙏.
Yamada Nishiki.
It is designed to be served on the rocks, but it can also be served straight.
The sweetness and umami come in the mid-part of the bottle.
The fullness of the umami comes in a little, but it remains firm until the back end.
Summer Nigorinpic 96
A bit of clear sake has been added, but the Nigorinpic is still going on 😀.
Hyogo sake from Banshu Issen 😀.
We had a bottle of Senzuke's White Koji Activated Nigori 😇.
First of all, the label didn't look much like Senzuke's, I thought it might be Ni-Utari...but the word Senzuke was hidden behind the rabbit 🤣.
It was a low alcohol sake, but it had a lot of ori and a robust taste, full of flavor and delicious 😇.
Banshu Issen was more fruity, but this Senzuke has a more robust flavor with more rice flavor 😇
Good morning, Yasube 🌞I haven't had Senzuke for a few years, but I remember being offered a dry, rice-like clear sake directly from the brewery 🍶I thought it was hot, but it was gone quickly, so it must have been delicious ✨.
Hi Yasube, 🐦.
I didn't see this label Senzuke 😳I thought it was another brewery because I couldn't see the faint 😆 Senzuke's active 🦍🦍 is surely delicious!
Good evening, Yasubeyesan😃.
Senzuke-san is one I would like to drink😍but I haven't encountered it in Utsunomiya🥲White koji & active nigori ‼️ are the only elements that make it delicious😋 Oh! I want to drink it🥹.
Good evening, Nao888!
I had a strong image of dryness in Senzuke's sake, so I couldn't get my hands on it, but this white malted rice sake is very easy to drink and you can hardly feel the dryness😇.
Senzuke also has a variety of sakes so be sure to check them out 😇
Good evening, Pon-chan 😀
Just like the label on Pon-chan's sake the other day, if you don't look closely, you can't tell which brewer's sake it's from🤣.
You really can't tell which brewer it's from unless you look closely 🤣 It's a definite sake.
I hope you will try it too 😇.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀
As I said, the ease of obtaining sake is totally different depending on the region 🤣.
Please come back to Kansai and enjoy Nada and Fushimi sake again 😇
We will be happy to take you on a tour of the Kansai sake breweries 😇.
