We found this aged old sake at Tajiri last month.
We opened the bottle after it had been stored for 13 years at a liquor store.
I imagined it would be amber-colored and look like a dead leaf, but it is not at all like that 😯 It is light amber-colored and light, with a slight aroma of aging.
The year 2012 was the year of the London Olympics and the opening of the Tokyo Sky Tree.
It was something like, I drank up the precious sake in two days, and I am grateful to the liquor store for aging it.
I forgot to take a picture,,
At a certain bar
It was self-serve.
It was lighter and sweeter than I expected.
It is not suitable for people and food.
Personally, I think it would be better if it were a little sharper.

Recommendation⭐️⭐️⭐️
Is it another brand of Tengu Mai?
The sweetness and umami taste start slowly around the first sip.
The mid-palate is moist, and the richness of umami extends to the finish.
Gorin is a sake from Ishikawa that I drank this year and fell in love with. It is a different line from the same brewery as Tengumai.
The unique flavor of Tengu Mai is slightly mild and easy to drink. It is a sake on the high road that I could drink every day. It was a perfect pairing for today's tempura and sashimi.
