Senkou Organic Naturals X2023
Clearly cloudy white
Powdery raw material aroma that is hard to believe it is 90% polished.
The aroma is like white dumplings, with melon-like fruit aroma, whey aroma, and Sengkyo's usual aroma.
The aroma extends slightly to banana and tropical fruits, giving it a sweeter impression.
The gas is clear, as it is claimed to be sparkling.
The acidity is reasonably tight, but not outstanding for a sake made from the traditional sake yeast.
Sweetness on the attack, but drier than the aroma suggests.
The persistent bitterness that is typical of sake is gracefully suppressed, and while it is extremely crisp, it still retains the complexity of the sake's traditional sake yeast.

As a person from a wine culture, I was not a fan of the bitterness of sake that slowly spread to sparkling sake.
However, this wine, while it is less bitter and more fruity, still makes the best use of the complexity of the sake's raw yeast and wooden vat origin, and I felt it had everything I was looking for in a sparkling sake.
I have never seen a bubbly sake with such a wine-like finish that still retains its sake-like character.
This is one of the best examples of SENKYO's sake.
