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 😁.

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
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.
