I hadn't had it in 5 years, but it felt much drier and drier than I thought it would be because of the old image. It has a wine-like fruit acidity that makes it easy to drink, and it has an elegant apple taste. It also has peach and melon notes. There is a slight gassy feeling.
It is very soft and does not have a lot of clinging. This softness is not only due to the low alcohol content, but is also the result of solid ingredients and techniques. It is a beautiful sake with a dry taste and high aroma.
As it gets closer to room temperature, you can feel the banana taste and the umami taste, so I personally prefer not to drink it cold. In fact, as a sake that is clean and refreshing, but has a lot of umami, isn't its personality more pronounced at room temperature? However, in this way, it is like a classic Senkou.
The second day is the balance where you can easily feel the umami and banana-ness, and I prefer this.
But it's crazy juicy, sweet and sour... Senkou. It's very, very good, but the personality that makes it instantly recognizable as Senkou is fading... I'm asking for too much because I love Senkou so much. Things have changed since the old days, haven't they? The impermanence of all things. No, it's really very delicious.
