At the celebration of the 60th birthday and retirement of a colleague.
A tradition every winter! The quality of koji has clearly improved with the new koji room and new facilities. It is a new sake with high expectations.
The sake was rinsed over and over again, covering the entire body with unrefined sake, in order to achieve a silky mouthfeel. In addition, the balance of saccharification and fermentation of the unrefined sake was thoroughly controlled at a low temperature comparable to that of the sake being exhibited, in order to obtain a rich sweetness similar to that of wasanbon (Japanese sake).
The resulting sake is as fresh as a freshly-ripened muscat or pear. The youthful aroma of new sake spreads, and a mellow, yet clear, sweetness and moist bitterness fill the palate over a wide range. In the latter half, a tingling gas sensation leaves a refreshing, slightly dry, and slightly lingering aftertaste. The texture is silky, fine and delicate. You can feel its quality more than last year. Sentori Winter. Enjoy this delicately crafted, clear, active nigori."
