This year, I am going to take the plunge and buy and drink all of the first tanks, Arabashiri, Nakadori, and Seme. I have the impression that the price and popularity of Seme are not that great, but I heard that it is a must-try for enthusiasts. Actually, I drank it a few years ago, but my memory of it has faded, so I will try it again this time and taste the goodness of it!
This is amazing! It is not fizzy, but it is an interesting sake that gives a fresh and lively sensation in the mouth. It may even win the first prize in the "Sake that makes me feel like it's a new sake" category.
It has a juicy, sweet and sour feeling similar to sour pears or apples. Strictly speaking, it is not so sweet because of the strong acidity typical of Sengoku. However, it has a strong umami taste among Sentori.
It is good on its own, but it is also good with a meal because it is crisp and does not leave much of a aftertaste. It is wonderful that it is so refreshing in spite of its strong umami...!
All three types of the first tanks are excellent, and I think that next year, a semi-bottle may be a possibility...?
