The Modern Senkou I style that I drank a few months ago was said to be hi-iru, but this Zero is raw.
While the Modern Sentori Hi-iri was a dry white wine-like food wine, the Zero was juicy, fruity, and could be drunk on its own.
After the Edo revival, I have the impression that Hi-iri is now drinkable on its own as well. What is the difference between the renewed and the new Nama?
It is fresh! It is very transparent. It is very similar to the Taiheizan 3104 that I drank the other day! The Sentori-like character comes out from the middle of the bottle and it is still fruity.
It is not so much sake-like as it is thin, so it is better with salads and light snacks, and if you want to drink it with strong food, I would rather drink it by itself.
I wonder if this is the trend this season. It is delicious and easy to drink like water. It is like an easier drinking version of the old Yamashiroya, and I feel that there is room for more delicious drinking, and that it is a sake worth researching.
