It has been a long time since I have tasted Sentori.
The sweet and sour taste is just like Sentori. The bitterness in the back end gives it a nice kick.
It is a delicious sake that does not betray expectations.
I went to a local liquor store and looked for a bottle of sake that could be heated.
They said it could be served cold or warmed.
I started with the cold sake.
Well, this one is definitely dry. As the label on the back says, it is not light, but has a strong sake flavor. It doesn't taste like alcohol either. It is quite tasty.
Next, heated sake!
Oh, the taste of sake is more pronounced.
The aftertaste is sharp with a lingering bitterness in the back of the mouth.
This sake is perfect as a food sake.

I bought it because it was a rare sake from Iki Island!

I asked the manager, a familiar face on Imanaya's YouTube page, for a recommendation for a heated sake to purchase.
This is delicious.
I haven't had much in the way of heated sake, and the only brand-name heated sake I can think of is Izumihashi, but this looks like it could open up the world of heated sake!
It has a rich flavor and acidity. It has a rich flavor and acidity. It's a bit harsh when drunk cold, but when it's heated it doesn't mellow, but the umami flavor seems to increase.
I'm going to explore heated sake this winter.

The dry taste comes on quickly and the bitterness remains.
The aftertaste is clean.

The eye-catching label drew me in!

The sensation on the palate is...
The sweetness comes as it smells, but the sourness soon takes over.
Then the bitterness that lingers on the tongue breaks through!
It gives a refreshing impression.
It is not a sweet sake.
This is a delicious sake.
I had it for the first time when I wasn't drunk.
I opened the bottle slowly because it was slightly sparkling.
The aroma started with a nice sound.
When you drink it, the aroma goes away from the refreshing sweetness.
The finish is a slight bitterness that is intertwined with the sweetness.
It is a delicious sake after all.
I bought it with a label that looks like a summer sake.

As expected, this sake is perfect as a mid-meal drink.
The sharpness of this sake makes it a good match for strong flavors.

After that, the bitterness takes over immediately and wears off.

I found it at a liquor store I wandered into on the Shinkoiwa shopping street.
I decided to try a sake I had never seen before and bought it.
It is a beautiful amber-colored sake.
The aroma is sweet but not fruity, difficult to describe due to lack of vocabulary 😓.
The mouthfeel is slightly thickened, as one would expect from the color. It is rather robust and heavy, with a touch of alcohol, but the softly spreading sweetness and slight acidity are not unpleasant.
The back palate is dry with a bitter taste lingering in the back of the mouth.
I am not a fan of alcoholic drinks, but this one is not unpleasant. The complex flavors seem to drown it out.
I've rambled on and on, but you didn't get the message 😁.
If you are wondering what it is, please give it a try when you find it.
It is quite a tasty sake.

Next, I rented it and served it hot.
The alcoholic sensation envelops you. This is what a heated sake should be like.
The dry taste of the sake has changed completely.

There was no spewing.
The aroma was fruity!
