Zenkichi Shiboritate

It has a fresh and crisp mouthfeel with just the right amount of chili. It has a good flavor and a nice sharp aftertaste.
Zenkichi is delicious!
#Nagasaki Hamacho#, Nagasaki
W8/Miya
I entered Nagasaki, my next business trip destination from Kyoto: ✈️
Finished work in the evening and came to a familiar sushi restaurant 😋.
First 🍶 was this winter limited edition sake.
Unlike the image, it is slightly spicy, crisp and refreshing 🤔.
It enhances the taste of the sashimi👍

I enjoyed just looking at the wall-to-wall refrigerator at a local liquor store. After selecting two brands by myself, I told them my preference and they selected one for me.
Kameizumi Cell is right in the middle of my tastes, and I like most of the tastes that come with the word "pineapple," so I requested a sake that fits that description, and this was recommended to me.
It was my first time to try this sake brewery.
But when I googled it, I found only highly praised comments.
I was so excited that I opened the bottle before I made my choice.
Yellowish color.
I have a dull sense of smell, so I got the impression that it was pale
The taste is sweet-umami! Modest piquancy, and acidity. Rather acidic. But the sharpness is great.
There is also a slight lingering bitterness.
It's not just an easy-drinking sake, but it's an assertion of its character.
The shopkeeper said, "It's a pineapple type, then this is it. It has a good acidity and fruity taste, and it has a nice sharpness. and pointed out a draft sake from the three bottles in the showcase.
I had a great encounter!
I will never forget this brewery. I will buy again.
[Memorandum] Drinking outside
This is the first time for me to drink Zenkichi. It doesn't have a hiya oroshi feeling, but it is sweet. It is sweeter than expected. I can see why it is popular. It's good!
Aroma with sweetness in the midst of crispness.
A refreshing taste on the palate. Then sweetness and spiciness interweave as it passes down the throat.
It is just like a drill making a smooth, fine hole.
Late Autumn Sadness
The nose evokes sweetness and astringency, like grape skins. After a quick sweetness, it turns to complex acidity and bitterness. After a soft, cottony overtone, it finishes with a lingering bitterness.
Overall, this sake has a complex aroma and a bitter taste.
★★★★
The aroma is mild.
When you taste it, it is delicious.
Smooth and mineral-like.
The texture is clear.
Crunchy and full-flavored from the start.
Lightly juicy and sweet, with refreshing acidity and bitterness.
Freshness.
Taste 3.5/5
Nagano Purchased at a liquor store
Purchased on a trip to Nagano for a gathering of relatives 🍶.
A bottle purchased for everyone to drink at a hot spring hotel.
I asked my favorite liquor store for a recommendation and chose Zenkichi, which I personally trust and trust 💁.
If it is easy to get in Nagano and tastes consistently good, it is Zenkichi 🤔.
I immediately opened the bottle 🍶 and it tastes great 😋.
The mouthfeel is refreshing, the acidity is moderate, and the rice flavor is well pronounced 😄.
It has a sweet umami taste that is more subdued than fresh 😊I can feel something of autumn 🍂.
Again, the taste did not disappoint!
I only had about a cup left when I got back 😭
I will go to Nagano to buy some more 💰.
Thank you so much for the food 💰!
