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.
Gorin, the Tengumai Sake Brewery in Ishikawa Prefecture
People in Kanazawa have long thought that good sake
Gorin.
Not so spicy, but slightly sweet and easy to drink, it goes well with Japanese food.
I want people to know more about this sake and drink it when you visit Kanazawa.

Gorin has an image of being light and dry, but this junmai sake has a calm and pleasant taste with rice flavor and a bit of acidity. The aroma is mild, with a refreshing green apple and rice aroma coexisting. The taste is also gentle and umami, with a hint of sakekasu (sake lees).
