This sake is made from 100% Celebration Rice, which is only produced in Kyoto. The taste was full and soft, like grandchildren's rice of Yamadanishiki. Delicious.
Nice fruity aroma ♫ Slight sweetness, not too sweet. A little full-bodied, with some bitterness. I guess it's a medium mouthfeel, right between rich and light.
This is a product that I brought home from the supermarket because it had been standing on the shelf in a box for a long time or had been reduced in price. The store is air-conditioned and boxed and not affected by light, so even though the item was two years old, it was not in a bad state of preservation.
This is the third time I have tasted Ancient Capital Sennen, following the 18-set tasting at Fushimi Sake Brewery Alley and at a sake event at a department store, but this was not one of many tastings, and when I took the time to drink it like this, it was as good as I expected, as was 24h. This is a gem that should not be underestimated just because it was sold in a supermarket.

I bought this when I went to Kyoto on business.
I opened the bottle with the feeling that I wanted to drink a dry sake because I was going to have bonito tataki today.
I opened the bottle with the feeling that I wanted to drink a dry sake.
I was surprised at how tasty it was!
It has a nice aroma, a little fruity and gentle, yet deep flavor, and it finishes with a dry taste that satisfies the palate.
It is so good that I am personally close to making a film about it.
Long time since my last visit to Kyoto! I found it on sale at a convenience store at the exit of the bullet train, so I searched the app and found a flavor chart shape that I had not seen before ("mild" is strongly pronounced), and I liked the sake that it resembled, so I bought it.
I bought it because I liked a similar sake! Mellow and mild. Mellow, mild, but not too much, and it goes away quickly. It is very Kyoto-like.
I think it would go well with Kyoto-style obanzai, one of the most popular Japanese dishes. I would like to make some Kyoto-style obanzai after I get home and enjoy the marriage. Mibuna and fried bean curd, deep-fried and soaked Kamo eggplant, fried flying fish head with starchy sauce, etc...(^^) Thanks for the meal!
