Purchased at the sake qoobe Yokote store. When I drank it before, I thought the carbonation was too strong and a bit wasteful. This time, the carbonation was the same, but I could taste more flavor than before. A little more sweetness? I can give my own opinion, but I think it's an interesting sake in terms of its characteristics. When I first drank it, I thought there might not be a next time, but after all, it is sake, and there are changes here and there, so it would be a shame to make a simple decision.

I ordered a clear sweet sake and this is the Sentori that came out. It seems that I am obsessed with Sentori now. I drank it a while ago, but I had a different impression when I drank it with food, and the impression of umami was a little stronger. The new Sentori is more careful in its assertion of acidity compared to the old one, and I feel that it also plays a role in enhancing umami and sweetness. I am looking forward to drinking some of the Sentori that I have not yet had.

Lately, there have been a lot of sacred birds. Seasonal items are full of insects, but there is a really wide range, whether it is cherry blossoms or sparklers. This sparkler was my favorite. Compared to the beetles, it seems a bit sweeter. The acidity and sharpness are clear like Senkou, but it seems to have depth with a little sweetness. It is delicious. If I find a four-pack bottle, I might buy it.

Purchased from sake qoobe in Yokote, Akita. This is my first classic Sentori. When I first started drinking sake, I drank Modern Sentori Kame no O. It is the Sentori Kame no O that got me hooked on sake. I drank Modern Sentori a while ago, so if you ask me what the difference is, it would be the lactic acidity. Both are Ichi style and fire-aged, so they have a stable and clear taste, but there is a lactic acidity before the sourness and sweetness that is typical of Sengoku, and that is the flavor that supports the whole taste. To put it bluntly, it is a modern wine to be enjoyed during a meal, and a classic wine to be enjoyed on its own. I think that if you like Sentori, you can enjoy it either way...

Purchased at Sake no qoobe in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. Tourists think that they should buy Akita sake when they come to Akita, but sake lovers just want to buy good sake, so this is a wonderful sake shop that has some of Akita's best sake, and also has Abe, Senkou, and Tasake. Abeno Black is rather dry. I'm getting to know the Abeno series better, and the Black has a strong clear impression and is well-balanced, so it's all-around good. This means that you can drink it all the time and it will run out soon.

It is Dewa Brilliant. The freshness and transparency typical of Omine. The fresh sweetness is pleasant. The acidity and bitterness give the impression of being sharp, but it is really slight, so it should be enjoyed on its own rather than during a meal.

Purchased at Sake no qoobe in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. Whenever I return to Akita, I always stop by this liquor store. On a side note, when I search for a location on this Sake-no-wa, it does not show places far from my current location even if I enter the name of the store. I have never had a bad experience with Tasake, but this Kojo-no-no-nishiki was the jackpot. I think it is probably a characteristic of this rice, but the mellow taste spreads out, and from the soft impression, it breaks off with a sense of transparency. It was composed of only the flavors I liked from beginning to end. I would like to buy it again. It is not easy to buy in Tokyo, but....

UA stag beetle. I know that collaborations have become rather expensive, but I'll catch them when I find them. It's summer, so I can't help it. It's foam, so the stopper is like a beer. When I fearfully opened the stopper a little at a time, I struggled with it for about ten minutes because it really seemed to spew forever. This time, I drank it without mixing it, so at first I felt the carbonation and the sourness that is typical of Senkou. It is delicious with just a little bit of ori which naturally mixes with the carbonation. It's like a stag beetle (?). Second day. It was corked for wine, but the carbonation settled down, so if you go without mixing, the impression is that it becomes a little clearer and sweeter. I quite like it. Third day. If you mix the last bitterness in the cork, it gives a deeper flavor, but I was able to drink it without feeling the extra bitterness I was worried about. Personally, I think the cork should be carbonated enough to return it to normal, but I enjoyed the various expressions.

The second glass of Yamanoi. From the impression on the label, one would think it would be a sweet, mildly sweet wine, but the sweetness is not too much, and the overall impression is full-bodied, with just the right amount of dryness and just the right amount of acidity. It is an orthodox style. It is well-balanced, so it is an all-around good sake, regardless of the situation of the drinker.

Unlike the Sacred Bird, the Red Wu is not associated with seasonal items. When was the last time you had jade? The name, label, and taste of this sake seem to perfectly match. The clarity, refreshing acidity, and deep umami create a three-dimensional flavor. It has a presence that can be enjoyed not only with food, but also on its own. Thank you for the sake!

A drink at a sushi restaurant you are visiting for the first time. When asked, "What kind of sushi do you like?" I am usually asked I usually give a vague order I enjoy giving a vague order. Many sushi restaurants prefer a dry taste, but we do have a "light sweet taste". When I hear the word "Black", I imagine dry, This is a beautiful sweet wine. The taste is not monotonous, It is not monotonous, but has a nice umami taste. It is not so assertive that it interferes with the meal, and it has a good sharpness. It is delicious. At home, I can only handle Yongbottle, but I guess it tastes better in Ippong bottles.

It is a jacket purchase, or rather, a naming purchase. I bought it because of the name, or rather, because of its name. The label looked like a simple champagne, so I bought it on the spur of the moment. I wanted to drink a sparkling wine after a long time. The taste is just like Shinkame. It is dry and crisp with a slight bitterness. The taste is silky with a hint of bitterness. Since it is summer, it is good to drink it refreshingly. If I don't buy it with vigor once in a while, I always end up chasing the same flavor. I'm gradually finding what I like, so I'd like to try new tastes again.

Good morning, sikamaru 😃. I've just had the first sip of Kamikame's sparkling wine! We had the first sip when we were out drinking and it's dry and good as you said 🤗It's fun to discover new things 💡 with a new one you haven't had before!

It still doesn't increase. The quantity. I don't have the guts to go for two bottles. I don't have the guts to go for two bottles, so I wonder if you could do something about it. I'm not sure who you are appealing to, but I really like the taste. It is a perfect example of a balanced and refreshing Omine. It doesn't taste that summery, but that's OK because it's delicious.

Abe after a long time. It has a cool and refreshing taste, just like a summer sake. It has a gaseous, fresh aroma, a clear, fresh acidity, and a gentle sweet umami flavor. I prefer the taste on the second day or so as it becomes more familiar, but for drinking on a hot summer night, the gaseous sensation immediately after opening the bottle is very effective. It ran out quickly.

This is my first Modern Sentori since the renewal. I somehow thought that the first sip should be fire-brewed, so I held out until I stumbled upon Ichi Shiki, and it took me a long time to find it. I would have liked to have had a classic, but I couldn't find a classic either. The aroma is subdued. The feeling in the mouth is fresh. Is it strange that it is fresh when it is fire-aged? It is clear and has the same refreshing sweetness and acidity that is typical of Senkyoku. The alcohol is not too strong, so it goes down smoothly. This is the standard. I would like to try the other formula and the classic.

It is no longer a summer term. The Sacred Bird Beetle. We caught them by accident this year, too. Sweet and sour as usual and a little lactic acidic. The first sip always surprises me a little. From the second day, the sourness has settled down a little and the taste has become more familiar. I prefer it if I leave it a little longer, but it disappears soon. It's strange.

The last one is Genzai, Daiginjo. Nice to meet you. I used to wonder why it was a daiginjo and not junmai. I used to think that aruze was inferior to junmai, but thanks to Isobojimaso and Kagaku Masamune, I have changed my mind. It is also delicious. The aroma is elegant (I don't mean weak) and the flavor is robust and complex, but nicely integrated. Can I buy this as a regular bottle?

Next is the day of the sun. Hm? Sake Komachi? The only Nichinichi I have ever encountered is Yamadanishiki or Tamakoe, but I was not expecting Sakekomachi. It seems that they make a limited edition of this sake with several different types of rice. This time it seems to be Sake Komachi. It has a light and gaseous taste. The alcohol content is 11 degrees, so it is easy to drink. The taste is carefully intertwined with umami and sweetness, and it finishes clean and crisp. The aroma is also mild. This sake is perfect as a food sake and even more so in summer. I hope it is not a limited edition.

Second drink. SAKE HUNDRED, which I can't buy by myself. And it's a special order, with a dark blue label that says Oboro or something like that. I had never seen or heard of it. The taste is something unique. The aroma is mild and the mouthfeel is refreshing, probably because it is made as a food sake. However, the flavor is deep and spicy. What does spicy mean in sake? It is spicy. Personally, I believe that sake is made up of a balance of sweetness, bitterness, and acidity based on the umami of the rice, but sometimes there is a salty taste. I took the liberty of thinking that it is spicy because of the way this saltiness is perceived. My impression is that the flavor is spicy and unique, but it is a level of assertion that is perfectly acceptable as a food wine. The sense of balance there is wonderful, and the rest is simply delicious.
