Sensuke特別純米　白麹　無濾過生酒原酒

7/17/2023, 1:34:05 PM

Nada sake. It is one of my favorite sake. It was in the fridge, so I opened it to get rid of the heat and for comfort after a little work. It's a little bit petite and shwashy. Not as good as the limited edition I had the other day, but it fills you up nicely. Sharp sweetness and a refreshing aroma reminiscent of citrus fruits. I feel like I'm drinking a gorgeous wine. I can't get enough of this freshness. How about when warmed up? Smooth and sweet. The honest sweetness of rice. A wave of zingy sweetness. The citrus taste remains the same. No, I like this sweetness because it is elegant. But I think you have to taste it cold to enjoy the freshness.

Hyogo Prefecture is Tajima - a sake from the town of Kami. Souvenirs to accompany you to your parents' home. First, at room temperature. Not too harsh. It tastes spicy on the tip of the tongue and softly flows into the bottom stream of a culvert. The taste is a little hard. How about when it is warmed up? The aroma is very strong. It tastes like the density of a flower. It is definitely better when heated.

This sake is from Inami-cho, Hyogo Prefecture. Is this a new release from King Brewery? I've seen Banshu-Nishiki (highly recommended for its cost-effectiveness) in many supermarkets, but I've only seen this one in a certain supermarket in Akashi. It is brewed with wine yeast and has a sake degree of -20, which is quite sweet. It is also inexpensive (about 850 yen including tax), so I am looking forward to drinking it. At first, the sourness comes more than the sweetness. The acidity is more grape-like, with a full-bodied sourness, followed by a yogurt-like sweetness, and then a sharp spiciness that wraps it all up. Thanks to this spiciness, the aftertaste is not dull. After the spiciness finishes, the elegant sourness and sweetness just flutter in the air. This is a pleasant feeling. How about if you heat it up? Sourness and spiciness. It has a full-bodied taste. However, I would prefer it cold, where you can taste the acidity's refinement.

Sake from Fushimi, Kyoto. It is a well-known major brand. When I first came to Hyogo, I once went to visit the brewery of Kizakura on a work trip. When I was having lunch at a restaurant, I heard a familiar voice from the next table! I remember being surprised at this not-so-happy coincidence. But that was beside the point. The name "Dori no Junmai" (pure rice for connoisseurs) is very attractive, isn't it? The taste is easy to get into. The taste is clear and crisp. The slight astringency and spiciness. It is not so much a taste as it is a sake to enjoy a clean drinking experience. A crisp, cooled version is just right for summer. How about when it is warmed up? It is light and has a light sweetness and spiciness that attracts you. You can enjoy it easily. The light flavor is very good. The label says it's a cold sake, but it's good warmed too. I think I prefer it warmed.

Nada is a sake from Imazu Township. I love spicy Tamba. Today's sake is Honjozo. This completes the four kinds. It is sharp! The gusto of the brewing alcohol, the sharp spiciness, the heat that falls down the back of the throat, and the sharp aroma. This is strong! Spicy! When paired with snacks, it seems to bring out the mellowness of the rice a little. It takes in everything. But it is quite spicy! How about if you heat it up? It becomes much easier to drink. The gusto and sharp spiciness recedes a bit, and spreads out with a full body. The sweetness of the rice comes forward a little. As a result, the strong spiciness becomes mild. This ease of drinking is good.

This sake is from my hometown, Echizen-Ono. This is another brewery that is eager to make new kinds of sake. This sake is made from red rice. I am looking forward to it. The rosé color is beautiful. Like cherry blossoms in early summer. Quite sweet! Ginjo aroma, full acidity, and light sweetness. The aftertaste is crisp and spicy. The second sip, four flavors combine to create a refreshing taste. The second sip, the four flavors combine to create a refreshing taste, and the finish of strong snacks such as mackerel is also crisp! Not quite fruity, but refreshing. How about if you heat it up? A different sweetness. From the lightness that seems to seep through, a sweetness with flavor that floats to the surface. It's soft and moist. The refined sweetness is pleasant. Well, this is interesting, too. Hanxatsuse, a day late. In Echizen-Ono, there is a custom to eat a whole roasted mackerel (in Kansai, they eat octopus, and in Kagawa, they eat udon). I have been eating a whole fish since I was a child. You can smell the aroma of grilled mackerel everywhere in town. It brings back memories. It is hard to find whole grilled mackerel, and now that I am an old man, I can't eat a whole mackerel, but I enjoy a big grilled mackerel as a side dish and reminisce about my hometown.

This sake is from the town of Eiheiji, Fukui Prefecture. This ambitious brewery has been producing a variety of sake with different tastes in recent years. The recent explorations by the brewer are mind-boggling. This one is said to be made with Fukui plum yeast, a specialty of the Reinan region of Fukui Prefecture. I bought this when I went back home. I am looking forward to it. Hmmm! Ume! At first, it has the spiciness and sweetness of sake, but gradually the aroma and sourness of plums come out! Unlike plum wine, it tastes like sake, but you can really taste the plum flavor. The taste is sweet, but the sourness of the plums and the firm pungency stand out, and the flavor is tight. This was a surprise! Perhaps it is because the alcohol content is 12%, but it is quite easy to drink. How about when it is warmed up? The sourness and aroma of ume envelopes you. The taste is clearly different from the sourness of rice. After that, the umami and sweetness of the rice come through. It disappears loosely and happily. The first touch is like drinking a slightly spicy plum wine with hot water, then you taste the rice flavor and realize that it is hot sake. This is the fun part. This is interesting. This is a new Fukui souvenir for me.

This sake is from Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture. This is the first time I have seen Toko's one-cup. Fruity ginjo aroma that smells like fruit when you open it. I look forward to this moment. The sharp spiciness is contrasted by a warm sweet and sourness. The spiciness increases and then disappears, enveloping the sweet and sourness. It does not linger. It leaves only a feeling of "It was delicious. It is a nice dish. How about if you heat it up? The spiciness and the sweetness come in! The spiciness, the sweetness, they surge in! From the moment it enters the mouth, sparks fly, and the full sweetness and bright pungency appear and disappear at maximum output, mixed up with each other. It becomes unique at once! Both ways of drinking are enjoyable.

Sake from Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture. Yuzu bought in March. Along the Hazukagawa River in the northern part of Sanda. The brewery is located not far from the clear Hazukagawa River. Today it is served cold. The taste of clear, pure water. It reminds me of the clear stream of the Hazukagawa River. The full, rich, sweet flavor spreads immediately. It is clear, but it spreads firmly. A moment later, a sharp spiciness passes through your nose. This spiciness is strong. The spiciness disappears as it trails off with a full umami and a cool, clear, water-derived coolness. The clear taste in the mouth through the whole process is the best. How about if you heat it up? It's like a big, fast spinning wheel on the tongue, with all the flavors spinning around at a brisk pace. It is refreshing, but the aroma that comes out when it is warmed up doesn't seem to go well with snacks. Let's drink it cold and drink it honestly.

Ichibanboshi (Honjozo) At Morii Honten in Sannomiya. Enjoying Nada's Kinpai. After enjoying the regular Kinpai and Junmai so far, the third cup was the Honjozo - Ichibanboshi. (If you read back the previous two reports, you will see that my Japanese is a bit flaky, and the selection of photos is also---sorry...) The first one was a very strong and spicy one, with a sharp, zingy, and numbing taste! This one has a strong punch! Sourness and spiciness with a receptive aftertaste. The cool spiciness that works at the very end. An irresistible aftertaste. I ordered the sea bream with arabesque sauce, and what a surprise! It's so good! The elegant yet powerful soup stock is irresistible! Not to mention the power of the dish as a shime, how many drinks can you have with this? It's a great snack! And they make zosui (rice porridge) with this golden dashi broth. It tastes so good, you can drink it instead of eating it. It's not just for rice, it's for drinking! My plan to eat ramen and go home afterwards fell through (well, I did eat it).

Nada is a sake from Nishinada. Following the Kinpai sake mentioned earlier. The spiciness is like a bolt of lightning running over the tongue! This sake has a light watery taste, and then the spiciness goes up to the next level. Then, the umami flavor swells up and disappears. This sake is rich in expression. I would be very happy if I could drink this kind of sake for daily use. At Morii Honten. From a prewar corner liquor store to a bar after the war. It has been in Sannomiya for 77 years. We listened to a story about the history of Kinpai and the store. Well, it was an enjoyable drinking experience! The other customers were having a good time too. The lone drinker, too, is accompanied by the memories of the other guests.

This sake is from Hyogo - Nishinada. (at room temperature). Kuhu! It is rich! A little bit strong acidity and a tangy, spicy taste goes down your throat. It is not hard, but has a soft taste. The acidity is strong and disappears while strongly accepting the taste of the snacks. A delightful old-fashioned sake. At Morii Honten in Sannomiya. Kinpai is only sold through mail order now, and this is the only place in Kansai where you can drink it. A drink on the way home from schooling at a correspondence school (I'm a working adult and a student!) A reward for all the hard work I put in. It sinks in after a full brain-boosting workout!

This sake is from Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture. A brewery that strikes an ambitious approach one after another. The chic fish label. It is said to be a sake that goes well with mackerel. Today, there was no good grilled mackerel, so I greeted it with canned mackerel boiled in water, tuna, and bonito sashimi! The spiciness is strong and penetrating. The sweetness comes immediately, full of richness and with a strong flowery aroma. The core is strong with a strong sweetness. The sweetness takes on the greenish smell of the blue fish, and the strong aroma and spiciness make the flavor of the snacks go down smoothly. The aroma that comes after the flavor has been washed away is a nice touch. The strong flavor of the fish is cut by the sake. The second sip of the second cup of sake, the strength of the sake becomes limpid and the freshness washes your mouth. How about when it is warmed up? Lactic acidity rises. The spiciness rises to accompany the acidity. The spiciness is backed by the acidity. The spiciness is like a caress and wrapping around the taste of the fish. Then, it disappears softly. Both cold and warmed, the approach to the fish shows a completely different face. Very interesting (in the style of Mr. Fukuyama, not Master Zakoshi).

This sake is from Tanba City, Hyogo Prefecture. As the description says "Sasayama Grocery Store Special Order Sake," I bought this sake when I went to the Sasayama Grocery Store in Tamba-Sasayama in early spring. I had no idea it was a limited edition sake. How does it taste? It has a crisp, limpid, and refreshingly spicy taste. It has a flashy sweetness that is typical of sake. It falls down and disappears, leaving a cool, refreshing feeling in the back of the throat. The spiciness, sweetness, and aftertaste of this sake are full of the flamboyance and liveliness that is typical of hara-sake. I drank it at room temperature, but it might have been better chilled to a crisp. How about warming it up? Wow, it became much mellower. The sharpness of the spiciness and sweetness and the strength of the flavor are still there, but it becomes much easier to drink. Plump, full, and loose. Enjoy the sweetness of the rice, while the spiciness that doesn't disappear until the very end tightens things up. Heated sake is good!

This sake is from Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. I bought it at a discount price at a nearby supermarket. It's been a long time since I've had sake from Ishikawa. Even though I am from a neighboring prefecture. It has a strong hiney aroma and a yellowish color. It has a strong sweetness, followed by a sharp spiciness. After the spiciness is gone, the aftertaste is like that of a sweet persimmon. How about when it is heated? The spiciness drifts away, and then a plum-like flavor comes in. Then, a sourness like plums and a refreshing aroma. Oh, it's so pleasant. I think it would be better with warmed sake.

Sake from Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture. Hakusetsu is a sake brewery that remains in Itami, the birthplace of sake. This is the first time for a barrel sake. It is quite yellow. The aroma is a little sweet. Slight scent of wood. Straightforward sweetness of rice. Pungent and spicy aroma. The woody aroma is also slight. It is very smooth on the palate and goes down smoothly. How about when it is heated up? The spiciness is smooth, followed by a full-bodied sweetness. There is not much woodiness. Slowly, one by one, the flowers of sweetness spread. I like this feeling.

This sake is from Higashinada-Mikagego. Senzuke is my favorite brand of Hyogo sake, and the brand that made me rediscover the taste of sake. I got a limited-edition active nigori nama-shu that I had dreamed of for years (I went to Yoshida Sake-ten in Suzurandai to buy it immediately after seeing the information about its arrival on Instagram. I got it in the last minute.) It seems to be careful how to open it, so I opened it while putting a pan under it, but it almost blew out just by loosening it a little bit. It was quite a lot of gas pressure. It took me 10 minutes to open the bottle. When I poured it, it looked like a Calpis soda. It is a bit sweet, but not too sweet. It has a mild and direct rice flavor with a sharp pungency. The mild sweetness is complemented by bitter and astringent tastes. It goes down smoothly. The refreshing taste of Senzuke, a favorite of mine, is also present. However, this is a low-alcohol, 13% sake, but it is very intoxicating (lol). Maybe it's because it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake with a strong, intense flavor. How about if I warm it up (I don't think it is supposed to be warmed up)? It is rich, sweet, and easy to drink with a little gasiness. It is not too sweet. It's like a refreshing sweet sake. It's a waste of money, but it's easy to drink even heated, and you'll never get tired of it.

Sake from Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture. A souvenir of returning home. This sake has been gaining recognition in recent years. At first, it has a grape-like aroma, and then it swells with a sweetness that leaves a slight leesiness. It has a full mouthfeel. The spiciness comes from the bottom of the sweetness and the richness of the mouthfeel, as if it is pushing up from the top. The unexpectedly strong spiciness comes unexpectedly. It falls down to the chest hotly. This is intense. It is wonderful. How about if you heat it up? Ah, the pungent spiciness, the astringent and umami flavors that support the strength. The spiciness comes refreshingly in the aftertaste. As the temperature drops, the elegant sweetness returns. Refreshing mouthfeel. This feeling is good. It is very tasty when served slightly hot.

Nada is a sake from Nishinomiya Township. I have been trying to complete the list of all sake breweries in Hyogo, but there are many sake that are sold only in Nishinomiya, and this is one of them. I was informed that all sake from Nishinomiya breweries can be purchased at a store called "Meitengai" in the basement of Frente Nishinomiya in front of JR Nishinomiya Station, so I stopped by and bought some while I was in Nishinomiya for a meeting. Of the breweries I had not yet conquered, this was the only one I could buy in four-pack bottles. I will buy the sake that is only available in 1 sho bottle when I come back to Nishinomiya by car. First, I drank it cold. The richness and softness of the flavor first coats the tongue. The sweetness of the rice is gentle. The spiciness comes up slowly and gradually. The alcohol feeling is direct. It makes you numb with a zing. It is strong. It is irresistible. The feeling of the spiciness that covers the tip of the tongue is enjoyable. How about when it is warmed up? The smell of alcohol is strong and fresh. When you put it in your mouth, the spiciness is sharp for one second, followed by a moderate sweetness for one second, then the spiciness spreads to your mouth, and then a sweet aftertaste covers the spiciness. The spiciness finishes with a zingy aftertaste. The complex and enjoyable flavor of this heated sake is hard to ignore.

Sake from Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture. A souvenir from back home. I think I bought only Koshinotaka this time. That's how ambitious they are and they produce a lot of new sake. First, cold. The spiciness rushes in. After the spiciness rushes in, the sweetness immediately follows. It stirs in the mouth like a storm, and as it falls down the throat, it recedes and disappears. It is elegant, but it is also intense like a storm. How about if you warm it up? The storm of spiciness and sweetness calms down, and it becomes more concentrated. The taste comes up like a blister. The zing, zing, zing, knocks nine times on the tongue and disappears. The taste is quiet but rich. I think I prefer it wild like a cold storm.
