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.
I found this handsome bottle on a local liquor store's e-commerce site.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish the bottle, but after a few days of thinking about it, I decided to pick it up 🤗.
Every time I open the bottle, the residual gas pushes up the stopper and the low sound is heard 😑! Even on the third day, microbubbles adhered to the glass and made it pizzle 🫧.
Rich koji aroma and sweet aroma reminiscent of cherry drop 🤧 It took me 5 days to finish it, but it was a delicious sake with the richness and chili of the original sake, even though it is 13 degrees C. 👍🏻
The third one, isn't it thicker than disposable chopsticks? The noodles were hand-rubbed to make them extra-thick and very satisfying 😋.
Good evening, Kotori-san.
Good job on finishing the bottle 😊.
The Yongo was a screw so it didn't fly away, but it had a strong gassy feeling when opened 😁.
Looks delicious with thick noodles like Kitakata ramen 😋.
Hi Kotori 😃
I was wondering about Senkusuke-san 🥹basically we don't do potty and I haven't been able to visit Saito-san 😢 good shopping! Might go there this week.
Hi bouken 🐥.
Screw's are good for your hands 🖐🏻 not to get sore. Shubok! It was quite gassy and tasty all the way through 😚 Check out this brand 😉 I was surprised that the ramen was thicker than ever before 😂.
Hi Jay and Nobby 🐥.
Mr. Saito, Google says it takes a little over an hour from my place using the highway😇It's definitely delicious, but I think it would be sweet for Mr. Nobby 🤔I hope you get to meet him during the holidays 🐢🤭.
Sake is chemistry 🧪.
I was looking on the internet about the aroma of sake and all I saw was katakata: 😵💫
It's a little too much for the humanities ......💦
This is my first time here, Senzuke.

Impressive nuttiness.
Very slight citrus aroma
Taste of yogurt
Some sweetness like carmelas
It has a savory taste
Not as aromatic and robust as other brands, but the aroma comes forward a little bit.
I'm not sure if it's the aroma of the raw soybeans or not.
I'm not too sure 🙁 .
I think I'll buy a different senzuke next time.
It was delicious 😋😋😋.

I like modern and my father is a classicist, and Senzuke was recommended to me when I requested a difficult requirement: fruity in that context!
There was definitely some bitterness, but I wanted more umami.
I think the sweetness was stronger than I expected.
I thought it might be a little difficult with Junmai Daiginjo, but I still believe in the possibilities of this request!
Oh, it's delicious!
It is just my wish that it would be more to my liking! LOL!
So, 5 points!
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 😁.
