First sake.
Kurosho Senjozo, extra edition Kurosho Senjozo test brew sake.
My wife bought this sake when she visited Nagano Prefecture.
When I chilled it well and started drinking it, the sweetness pushed it out.
Without prior knowledge, I thought it was like a Junmai Daiginjo, but it was a Junmai Daiginjo.
As it warmed up to room temperature, it added a nice bitterness and sourness that made it indescribably delicious.
Thanks to my wife's selection.

Tonight I felt like I was a little short on drinks, so I decided to stop by and have a haggle at "Eel Skewers and Small Dishes Hayakawa" which I was introduced to the other day 🤗.
The aroma is only faintly perceptible.
In the mouth, it is a sweet sake with a muscat-like aroma passing through the nose, with a slight sourness and bitterness.

Nagano Prefecture
Junmai Sake
Rice polishing ratio 70%.
Alcohol 15%.
Purchased in Takato, Nagano Prefecture, where the brewery Senjo is located.
It has the sweet aroma and taste of rice, typical of junmai sake.
It is crisp, but also relatively sweet, almost like sugar water.
Light & fresh, summer release (but label had April date). TGIF especially without typhoon effect (other than wind & high humidity), nice to be at home.
Light fruity aroma.
Sweet for a moment, then a bit of sourness, then bitterness, then it disappears from the mouth.
There is not much aftertaste.
The image is of a sweet sake, but the sweetness doesn't linger in the mouth, so it doesn't interfere with food.
Might be to your taste
This sake was purchased to drink on a trip but brought home without opening the bottle.
This is my first time drinking Kuromatsu Senjo.
It is dry with a light aftertaste. The alcohol content is a little high at 17%.
Hitogochiki Junmai Ginjo
Today we had it with a tin cup!
You can taste the soft rice flavor and it enhances the taste of the snacks!
The 500ml bottle is just the right size!
At the usual restaurant
The master introduced me to a drink whose jacket looks like a wine 🍷.
The master introduced me to a sake that looks like a wine 🙂.
Sake level is minus 6 and it has a strong sweetness,
It had a good balance between sweetness and acidity 😋.
The snacks were fried chicken wings and marinated tomatoes 🍅!
Since it is a polished 39, one would expect it to have a clear taste in one's imagination, but it has a surprisingly dry taste. Mildly sweet on the tip of the tongue and tingling in the back of the throat. I had it with stinky blue cheese🧀: ❤️
1419 yen at Super Belk in Tokyo, with points redeemed.
Tasty! The aroma is tropical, but not too far south, with a fruity aroma? (Hard to tell...).
I also like the thick and mellow sensation, probably because it is unfiltered. The taste is also mellow, yet still sharp, which I also like. Thanks Berg, I didn't know you could buy this at a supermarket...!
The brewery and rice for the first time
There is an aroma that permeates the nose.
Delicious with a gentle, smooth sweetness.
The tininess of the rice makes it sweeter and more acidic, so it would be good with oily food.
