In the second half of the all-you-can-drink session, we had a rare junmai (pure rice) drinking contest!
This was also a brand that was hard to find.
After all, it has been since last summer when I checked it out!
It was my first time to try Zenkichi Junmai!
As expected, both are THE sake!
Because it was the second half of all-you-can-drink, I was not sure of the taste!
Sorry 🙇.

The label has changed to a retro look.
Refreshing citrusy flavor.
It even has a slightly minty freshness to it
The aftertaste is refreshing!
It's a little different from the Zenkichi I've had in the past, but it's delicious!
Tonight was also the first issue of the series🍶 "Zenkichi".
I brought this bottle without any information or preconceptions. I was looking forward to opening the bottle and starting from the aroma...
The aroma is not that strong and dry 😅⁉️😅
And then a sip 🍶.
It's a little dry and refreshing.
This is perfect for a meal 😋.
The aftertaste is also very spicy, and it disappears with a lingering aftertaste.
I was curious and anxious about this bottle because it is a rarely seen brewery, and I had a lot of feelings about it.
Nice to meet you 😃 one of the best 🍶.
The nose is gorgeous 🍑 sweet aroma
Light classic ✨ with little complexity
Easy to drink at 14 degrees alcohol😋.
Still 🧐 Nagano's local sake is deep.

It has a green apple-like aroma with a hint of sourness.
It is light and sweet, with a touch of umami in the middle.
When the first taste passes, you can taste other flavors.
Well balanced.
Nakanori-san/Zenkichi.
The second bottle from the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 comes from Nakazen Sake Brewery. Nakanori was my personal favorite from last year's hanpukai, so how is it this year?
According to the brewer's comment, it tastes great at room temperature, so we dared to drink it at room temperature.
When the bottle is uncorked, it has a fresh aroma like muscat, and the mouthfeel is very round and soft. It has an elegant sweetness reminiscent of fruit, a deep flavor, and a superb balance of beautiful acidity! It has a long, happy aftertaste in the mouth.
More complete than last year, this is delicious!
Hello YSTJ 😃
Zenkichi no Nakanori! I've never seen you before 🥲 can I buy it outside of the hanpukai 🤔.
I'd love to taste 😋 feel the taste of perfection!
Hi Jay & Nobby😄
I have never seen it at a liquor store myself, but I checked and it seems that you can sell it directly from the brewery store! ↓ ...
