The limited edition Sentori is sold exclusively at Torichataro in Shibuya! I had an image of Sentori being a bit spicy, but it was very easy to drink with a fresh sweetness with a hint of pear. I guess modern Sentori is too popular these days, so they write "Classic Sentori" on the bottle........

Last night we went to our second usual restaurant 🏮. I chose a sake called "Kijoshu"! Sweetness overflowing! It was fizzy and refreshing 🫧. The taste was reminiscent of white grape juice! For snacks, we had our usual oden 🍢. By the way, the other day was the sake test 😳. For those of you who took the test, how was your response? I took the 3rd level, and I'm relieved to say that I managed to exceed the border in my self-scoring... 🪽. I'm hoping to make it to Level 2 this year, and hopefully Level 1!

Here's a little rare sake too ★★★★☆ It has a strong umami taste, but it is relatively sharp rather than full-bodied. The sweetness is not too strong and well balanced. I would prefer something a little more flashy, but this is probably the best for a gentle 🍢.

Good evening, Mr. K. 😄 I happen to be drinking the same sake 😅 This label is hard to photograph---the light is just too bright...

It's a hazy memory, but I think it was a very voluptuous and tasty sake 🤤. I checked and this one is also a limited edition sake... I wonder if this restaurant has a parade of rare sake... I would like to visit there someday as well 🍢.

I like Collage's packet the best... I've been looking for a new bottle of Collage, but this orange label Collage is a rare one, original to a long-established distributor in Tokyo: ★★★★★ It had a refreshing fruity taste! I would like to drink it again 🍒 because my memory is a little fuzzy.

This is another sake that you don't see very often! It has a wonderful harmony of acidity and umami. It is a good food sake. I found out that it is a modern Yamahai sake. There are various types of Yamahai sake. ✏️ The oden is really good here, and I think I'll be frequenting the restaurant. There was good music playing from the 100 year old big speakers in the restaurant, and I got to know the artist Ichiko Aoba.

Shichibonjari always tastes good... It is dry but has a fresh, youthful flavor, and if you didn't know it was a dry brand, you might think it was sweet and drink it. This year I'm going to drink as much Shiboritate Nama sake as I can 🧘.

It has a well-balanced taste and is easy to pair with meals! I looked it up and found out that it was created to be the ultimate food wine. I'd love to drink it again based on that 🛸.

Here's another pretty rare drink: ★★★★★ Clear and fresh taste with no hint of alcohol! I vaguely remember it tasting both dry and sweet, which I liked. If I'm not mistaken, I think "glacial bamboo shoots" refers to the icicles that form in caves and such, but it's too cool that they're brewing it with that. I'm already a sucker for seared cod roe.
