Senkin Sake Brewery is a long-established brewery established in Iwaizumi, Iwate Prefecture, in the Ansei era. It is not Senkin. I did not know this, but it seems that the Senkin Group is an influential local company that runs a diversified business, including gas sales and a bus business. The brewing of sake, the ancestral business, is subsumed under one of the group's divisions.
The "Ryu to Sake Cup" is a collaboration between the Sakamoto Sake Brewery and a sake brewery near the Kaiun Bridge in downtown Morioka. As the name suggests, the sake is brewed with the famous water from Ryusendo Cave, and it depicts a dragon that has become one with the cave. The fresh acidity and bitterness are impressive, as is the freshness of the sake, and there is a slight grapefruitiness to the taste.

Firm mouthfeel for a ginjo-shu.
It is somewhat clear after drinking, but you can taste the firm acidity in the mouth.
However, it is not too heavy, and the taste is well integrated.
Summer Trip 2025 Day 3
Ishinomaki and Kesennuma to Iwate Prefecture
Visit Rikuzentakata and Ofunato, then go to Hiraizumi.
Stay overnight at a new inn built this year!
Delicious food again!
Sake selection was a bit disappointing.
There was no famous Iwate sake!
We tried to select 3 out of 5 kinds of sake!
I tried to choose the sake that I had never had before as much as possible!
First, the retro-labeled Ryusen Yaezakura Special Junmai Sake!
The first taste is sweet, but as you drink it, you can feel the rice flavor and it becomes a little spicy!

#Nihon-shu
It feels fresh and gorgeous the moment you drink it. Personally, I felt a freshness like green apples.
Since I have often had dry sake recently, I was able to enjoy a fresh and gorgeous taste.
I had it at a restaurant, and when I looked it up to try it again, I found that it was surprisingly reasonably priced. I will try it at home.
