A limited edition zodiac version of Senkou, just like in the New Year. This is a collaboration with UNITED ARROWS, and is a nigori (nigori is a type of sake made from noble liquors and has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees Celsius).
Refreshing sweet and sour and tropical aroma.
The fruity taste spreads slowly over the crisp texture, and the lingering faint astringent taste is mildly refreshing.
It is not too sweet for a noble sake and can be easily matched with Osechi cuisine.
Is it because of the quality of the sake or because it is the first day of the year?
Happy New Year!
I will continue to drink regularly this year, but not to the point of overdoing it. After returning home from work, here is the first bottle I bought and kept for myself to open at the beginning of the new year. It's a Sentori with a zodiac sign label of a snowman.
This is delicious. The sweetness is just right and easy to drink. The fizz is refreshing, like an adult cream soda. The label says "LaFrance," and it certainly tastes just like that. The alcohol flavor is just right, and the sweetness is a little bit subdued. The price was a little high, but I am glad I took the plunge and bought it. I will enjoy this year's sake as well as this year's delicious sake.
It tasted different from the Sentori I had drunk before!
The sourness and sweetness seemed more mature!
It was a new discovery for me to know that there is such a Sentori as this 😋.

Second run of the day
The second bottle that my eldest son brought back from Tochigi is a popular Tochigi sake, Senkou!
It tastes dry and gassy!
This sake is great with snacks too!
It's fun to drink with others and it makes the drink go down a treat 😁.
I am happy to enjoy drinking at the end of this year 🥰.
This year, the last bottle is one of the three major nigori sakes, Sengoku Snowball: ⛄️
Delicious as always✨!
Happy to drink it again this year 🎶.
I wish you all a happy new year 🎍.

This year, we didn't have a party for our eldest daughter who is a student for the entrance examination.
Instead, we had a family year-end party and Christmas party on the 30th.
My son and I requested sashimi 🤤.
I wanted to try Udan (sea urchin) so I went to a fish shop far away and bought a box of it 😍.
This year's snowball seemed to be more sour and spicy than usual with the usual milky taste 😊.
The spiciness is not alcoholic, but pleasant with a lingering spiciness that can be drawn out by the aftertaste.
The sourness was not only characteristic of Senkyoku but also sourness of the sour side? I felt like there was a sour acidity in addition to the one peculiar to Sengkyo.
I am looking forward to comparing it with another bottle of UA 😘.
Oh, yes! The nigori sake with the unodan was delicious 😍.
I ate almost the whole box by myself 🤣.
I had a lot of fun reading your repos and using them as references 😘.
I hope to see you again in 2026👍
Have a drunken new year👍
Happy New Year to you, kozo 🎍 and I wish you a happy new year 🙇.
I was hoping to make it within the year 🙏💦.
Did you eat all this Undan by yourself 🤣It was worth the long trip 😉.
