Sentoku恋のしずく 純米大吟醸

シカタロウ
Sentoku today. Koi no Shizuku Junmai Daiginjo. It was served well chilled. Light at 12% alcohol, soft on the palate, what can I say, this is simply, slightly sweet water. If you call it a love drop, it might be, but it is more like watermelon juice. Frankly, it has more of a Kabuto feel to it than "Kabuto".

Today, it's the Senkou Kabuto. My first rhinoceros beetle, and I was able to catch it too. It was suddenly hot and humid in the afternoon, like a summer day, and it was Father's Day. Thankfully, I opened a bottle of Kabutomushi. It is a delicious sake with a refreshing acidity that reminds me of my boyhood when I hatched kabutomushi! The second day after opening the bottle, I felt that the alcohol feeling was gone, and it was truly an adult lemon squash. No, you don't feel the carbonation that much, so it's an adult's aquarius oosis. I'll be drinking it thinking of the season filled with love in the languid June rain.

Mitsui Kotobuki today. Chicara. The aroma is said to be fresh and apple-like due to the use of malic acid high producing yeast. Yes, fresh and fruity. Not too sweet, which is good. Chicara is Italian for cicada.

Sentoku today. Sentoku is the pride of Miyazaki, the shochu prefecture. It has a traditional taste. Basically, they do not make shochu, but sake. The chicken nanban and deep-fried Mexicali are the best in Nobeoka. Shochu is good and sake is good. Everything is good. I love Miyazaki. This Sentoku definitely goes well with fried Mexicali. Only 2 more to go until I conquer the whole country: ‼️

Thank you, Jay & Nobby! Yes, I've been looking for a place to go to for a while now! There, the information itself is kind of unclear, maybe the only sake brewery is closed 😂⁉️ And I've decided that Saitama is a hana-yosu, but I haven't come across it at all 😂.

シカタロウ
Today, a pine tree at Atago. One summer of love. The first pine tree at Atago. What a sweet and sour sound of one summer's love! I am a little hesitant to drink it as an old man. It is light, fresh, and fresh. It is not so sweet and seems to go very well with the officially recommended summer vegetables and pike conger.

Yesterday's takachiyo. Ripe Pineapple" - very intense flavor, yet wrapped in freshness and clarity at the end. Summer Blue" is one of Takachiyo's most popular sakes throughout the year, as it pursues the expression of fruit flavors. I don't remember the details, though. Pineapple, for example. It was delicious, though.

Yesterday, Yokoyama. It was the first time for me to drink YOKOYAMA. It is a refreshingly fruity and tropical summer sake, and if you call it that, it certainly is. It has a nice sharpness and can be drunk in large gulps.

Yesterday's new political earth. Second bottle of Shinsei Fair. 100% Rikuu 132 grown in 2019 Kyokai No. 6 yeast Wooden vat No. 16-17 2020 brewing year 13% alcohol by volume (undiluted) It has a gentle taste. Is it because of the wooden vat? Is it due to the aging process? It is very simple, gentle and alive. You can feel the breadth of the flavor. My child smelled the aroma and said it was like the white part of bread. Is that exactly the smell of yeast?

Shinsei today. Tenfrog. We couldn't make it on June 6, but we went to a restaurant that was having a Shinsei fair. My first Tenkaeru. It seems perfect for today's weather and temperature. Delicious lactobacillus drink ➕ shuwa shuwa.

Yesterday, Kinryo super dry. Wagakawa's Kinryo, super dry, was chosen to go with a meal. The rice is polished to 70% and the alcohol content is 15-16%. The alcohol content is 15-16%. It is good with fried food. The Sanuki Kuraudai we drank on the way was also delicious. It is a lactic acid bacteria drink or makgeolli, and seems to go well with grilled meat.

Today is 寫楽. According to the official website Gohyakumangoku" is the most suitable rice for sake brewing. It is also produced by farmers in the Aizu region together with our brewery. The sweetness and acidity blend together beautifully, and the taste has a slightly fine atmosphere, while the umami of the rice can also be felt. It is a classic junmai ginjo with a subtle lingering aroma that can be enjoyed in the mouth even after drinking." It is as delicious as you say. The fruitiness in the mouth is delicious.

Today is Chiebijin. When I think of Oita, I inevitably think of Napoleon Iichiko from downtown, but of course sake is delicious as well. Chiebijin. The first proprietress, Chie, named her sake "Bijin" (beautiful woman). What a loving name! The taste is very well-balanced and gentle! Quite my favorite! Only 3 more to go to conquer the whole country!

Today is the Wind Forest. Spong! I opened the bottle. It has a soft rice flavor. The first sip is rather dry. It is quite solid, perhaps because it is made with ultra-hard water. As it is paired with a meal, it gradually becomes mellower and more umami. It goes down smoothly. It is a sake like rice that can be enjoyed with meals. It is delicious.

Dewa cherry blossoms today. The aroma of ginjo-shu is wonderful. The appearance is clear and crisp due to the sake being aluzo-sweetened. The rice polishing ratio is 50%. It is easy to buy and goes well with anything.
