I opened the bottle and after 13 days, I stored the remaining bottle in the refrigerator and drank it again. I think this sake has a stronger melon aroma and a better aftertaste. Most of my favorite Sentori should be drunk sooner than later, but I have found a new sake that is better for me.

The name of the dish has cherry blossoms in it, so I will have it because it is in season.
I thought the waiter was crazy because he brought it to me while saying "wee wee wee wee", but I heard it is written "first time" and read as "wee wee wee".
So I enjoyed it while saying "wiwiwiwi". It was fun.
The rain stopped, but as expected, I was not in the mood to enjoy the nighttime cherry blossoms outside tonight, so I only took pictures of the flowers.
This brewery holds fond memories for me of working part-time when I was a student.
At that time, there was no such junmai raw storage.
This sake is delicious and easy to drink with a rather clean taste and little malted rice smell.
Thank you for your comments, Jay & Nobby.
My old school was near Shikizakura, so I have been there a few times to work at the spot.
I enjoyed getting sakekasu as a souvenir.
That was decades ago.
Purchased this sake because I wanted to try a sake from Tochigi Prefecture other than Sengoku. This sake is made with Kumamoto Prefecture's pride and joy, Karo yeast (mostly No. 9 yeast). Dry, mellow, taste cuts off smoothly, matured at less than 5 degrees Celsius.
Tokyo Souvenir Sake No. 3
Purchased at a liquor store in Koenji
This is my first brand.
Cold sake
Nutty aroma.
The strength of the sake comes through from the mid-palate to the aftertaste.
Bitter chocolate astringency in the aftertaste.
