We had the first tank of Sentori Nakadori, which will be sold out this season, in a row. 14 bottles in total. We drank a total of 14 bottles in less than 2 weeks, so we felt sad, but the time we spent enjoying it flew by. I wonder if it is really the end...
The aroma is light, with a hint of banana. When you drink it, it has a dry taste with a slight whiffle. It has a unique flavor that is typical of ogara-mi, and along with the acidity, it has a classic Sengoku-like umami, with hints of grapes, pears, lychee, and bananas, making it hard to understand what it is, but it's still delicious!
I felt the alcohol was a bit strong towards the end, as if it had been left to rest too long, but it was delicious all the way through!
Now that I won't be able to drink the first tank, I think I'll buy a bottle of Risshun Shibori for my next winter sake. I remember that it was quite tasty too.
