This is a limited edition sake from the tour to the brewery of Drunken Whale Brewery. I was really excited about the brewery tour (laugh). I wanted some DAITO, but... I was able to taste it, so I was satisfied! The Tosa brewery tour is only 500 yen per person, and you get to sample two cups of sake, and you also get a soft-serve ice cream with sake lees, a sake thief, and a souvenir sake cup for 500 yen...seriously, I recommend it! The Tosa brewery's limited edition sake was a very crisp Tosa sake with a strong acidity! The Tosa brewery's limited edition sake was a very acidic, crisp, and refreshing sake!
It has a slightly subdued cloudy color as is typical of nama-shu, a good balance of gentle sweetness and gentle acidity, and a lactic acidic taste. It is easy to drink and I finished a bottle in no time because it does not linger!
I ended up buying all three types (lol). The CLASSIC was slightly fizzy and not too acidic. The CLASSIC was slightly fizzy, not too acidic, and had just the right amount of sweetness, freshness, and fruity flavor to make you finish it in no time. I drank three different kinds of wine at different times, so if you ask me which one was the best... I don't know (laugh)!
Good morning, Honi Honi 😃 I knew I had to buy it 🤗 Kochira is a real killer!
I know you're going to buy it 🤗Kochira is really good in the blink of an eye 😋I compared 3 bottles at the same time and all of them are good! I'm sure you will like it too 😆.
Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby! I knew I was going to buy them all when I bought the first one...I thought I was going to buy them all anyway...lol!
Sentori's MODERN Sanshiki, sparkling raw sake. ......... What! I only knew about Sanshiki, but when I went to buy a bottle of Zero formula CLASSIC, I found this one... What! What! I was so surprised that I shouted "What the heck is a "three-phase"? (Laughs) My impression after drinking it was that the fizzy feeling was in full swing! The taste is a refreshing sake with a good balance between a moderate acidity and a moderate sweetness (laugh), but the aftertaste is quite dry and cut off. It is not sharp and dry, so it is not harsh, but has a sense of depth. Definitely a good sake!
Slightly gentle sweetness. Gentle acidity and ginjo aroma are also gently but not unpleasant. A well-balanced sake. The aftertaste does not linger that long.
Hello nabe! Thank you for your comment! I see that the sake is from your hometown! I envy you because there are so many delicious Fukushima sake (lol)!
(Buy the label for the New Year. lol) It seems to be a kijo sake, but it is not too sweet, and has a refreshing finish with a sweetness that includes acidity typical of Senkou. Very easy to drink.
Sentori Retro: I think it has more acidity than Modern...I personally like Modern because it has some ginjo aroma. But of course Retro is also delicious!
Thank you for your comments, Jay & Nobby! They are all delicious indeed! And I haven't gotten the classics yet, so I guess I'll just have to get them when I get here...lol!
SENKYO's Edo-style MODERN starts with a sourness that is typical of SENKYO, but quickly fades away, leaving a fresh grapefruit-like taste and bitterness on the finish. The word "Edo Bari" gave me a bad impression, but it was so easy to drink that it made me want to drink other retro and classic styles!
The mouthfeel is delicious, with no cloying taste! The freshness of the sake is well expressed, and it seems to be a middle-of-the-road sake that will not interfere with any dishes. As you continue drinking, the spiciness and the ginjo taste come out.
The freshness of the sake is in full bloom! It has a moderate gasiness, moderate acidity, and moderate sweetness. It is easy to drink with a well-balanced, refreshing aftertaste and little alcohol!
