A special junmai sake with a clear taste.
It's a little more refined than I usually prefer.
In that sense, it may not be like a special junmai sake, or perhaps it is because it is a special junmai sake?
The aroma is nice too... 🤩.

Gorgeous aroma, robust rice flavor, and a gentle, clean finish.

Talking and inertia.
Authentic liquor feel.
Piquant alcohol.
Sharp impression that fits the word "spark".
It might be good with surume-ika (Japanese common squid) or some other food.
Takeba is the same, but I don't like it so much.
May 2019, at the usual Tiger's Restaurant in Shibuya. Enjoyed with chicken nanban and croquettes, as they say "it can be enjoyed with western food."
I drank "Sen" in April, and it was delicious, so I'm repeating it.
The brewer is Kazuma Shuzo Co. in Noto-machi, Ishikawa Prefecture.

April 2019, as the second drink of the day at Tiger's Bird in Shibuya. Accompanied by char-grilled Jidori chicken.
The brewery is "Kazuma Shuzo K.K." in Noto Town, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Their main brand seems to be "Chikka" and "Sen" was not listed on their current website, but they seem to make a variety of other good sake.

It was light on the palate at the beginning, but the acidity was very strong in the back, which is typical of the Noto style.
It is a dangerous sake that is easy to continue drinking because of its mild flavor from beginning to end 😁.
Today, we have Sen(Ishikawa gate) and Kangiku(nigori).
This is the first time for me to see Sen.
The first time to see Ishikawa gate.
The aroma is clean and sweet.
When you put it in your mouth, the first thing you taste is bitterness.
After that, umami and a hint of sweetness follow.
It is a good sake that can be drunk leisurely.
