From the aroma, it looks spicy. Slightly mellow rice aroma.
It has a chemical gourd-like flavor and a seme-like flavor.
The spiciness of the sake is very hot, as is typical of nama sake, and the flavor is very crisp.
It goes well with smoked bonito tataki.
Taste: 3/5 stars.
Hot sake. The aroma is strong and mellow, with a robust taste. It has a strong aftertaste and is easy to understand and delicious! Sake that is easy to say "Delicious!
Highly happy with Nameko and Sashimi.
.
The last of the tasting was the barrel sake.
The aroma of the barrels soaked into the sake and was very nice.
Almost like the smell of a hinoki bath.
I was given a cold sake and a hot sake, and the hot sake tasted better, as I felt the aroma of the barrels was well controlled.
I heard that Sakatoya has a sake tasting every Saturday, so I would like to go there again.

I was about to go to Senkou... but quit the elegant drinking comparison,
I wanted to drink something totally different and dark.
At room temperature.
It has a slightly sweet acidity and a charming rice aroma.
Pure sweetness and round rice aroma.
The round rice expands softly and slowly.
The second sip has a slightly nutty aroma.
The flavor is warm and chestnut-like.
The acidity is refreshing and does not come on too quickly.
Later on, there is a bitter astringency and a pungent alcohol taste,
The texture is light and well-balanced.
I ordered some nukazuke, thinking that miso or cheese would go well with it.
I imagine it would be delicious again if it were heated.
Degree of preference 4.5/5
