Here's another brand I didn't know about.
It was a sake from Tenzan in Saga Prefecture!
Both sake tasters and sake friends know it well!
I still have a lot to learn!
I only remember it being a fruity sake 🤭.
Ketchup rice 🍚, delicious!
a lot of knowledge
A product distributed only in Kyushu. Aroma reminiscent of apples and white peaches. Delicate and soft in the mouth. The sweetness that spreads in the mouth and the subtle acidity are well balanced. A junmai ginjo-shu that can be enjoyed with food for a long time.
Ingredients Yamadanishiki/Saga no Hana
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol level 16
Purchased at a liquor store near Saga station. They said this is only available in Saga😌.
The fruity flavor is rich and delicious!
Well, I can see why it is described as juicy with lots of hints of aroma 😌.
Polishing ratio koji rice 55% kake rice 55
Memorandum
Limited distribution in Kyushu / The SAGA Certified Sake
Saga no Hana (Flower of Saga)
The top-tasting aroma is a gorgeous apple-like ginjo aroma.
Immediately after opening the bottle, it is like ginger ale for adults!
On the second day, it is fresh and mellow on the palate.
Slightly dry 🤔 depending on how you feel.
It gets along well with food without interfering with it.
I had it with pancakes and Sakichi's sauce and it was refreshingly delicious!
Day 5, still juicy and delicious 😋.
The last bite of the pancake with the hair on the back of my head 😭
No fancy aroma but elegant and delicious.
Pic3.4 at the brewery
Good evening 🇺🇦🤝🇷🇺🇷🇺, you drank 🌃Iwa no Kura, you drank it 👍Great picture of the brewery📸Tenzan Brewery is a great brewery. The river and nature around the brewery was amazing 🌳I guess such an environment can make good sake 😄.
Good evening, sleepy healer!
I imagined a stubborn old man from the name "Iwanokura", but it's a spiffy JK😋!
It's a beautiful environment that will wash your mind ☺️.
Thank you ✨thanks to the healer for a good warehouse exploration 😁.
While on a business trip to Saga, I visited Tenzan Sake Brewery. It is a pleasant place by a river called Giongawa, with the greenery of small mountains in all directions. On my way home, I was able to thank them for their always delicious Shichida. Iwanokura" is only available in Kyushu. It is so good...I never get tired of drinking it.
★★★★★ It is delicious. I would definitely drink it again.

Saga Prefecture. Ogi City. Tenzan Sake Brewery Co.
Iwanokura Junmai Ginjo
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malted rice (domestic)
Polishing ratio: 55% for koji rice, 55% for kake rice
Alcohol content: 16%.
We visited Tenzan Shuzo on the way to Fukuoka after visiting a grave.
Tenzan and Shichida are probably more famous.
The people at the brewery were friendly, kind and courteous.
They explained to us that the day after our visit was the "Jeungkoshi" (the day when the steamer is overturned) and that they had renovated the brewery so that visitors could taste and appreciate the sake during the Corona season, when brewery tours are not available.
The display of sake bottles and ceramic barrels was spectacular👍.
We had it with cold sake.
The top aroma is slightly fruity.
The first impression is a clean, refreshing, and slightly sweet mouthfeel, as if it were a slurp.
As soon as the sake is swallowed, the gorgeous ginjo aroma that escapes into the nose brings in the umami.
After the umami has expanded, it finishes with a tangy spiciness.
The overall impression is clean and refreshing, but the balance is wonderful in bringing out the umami of the rice.
Memo︙It seems that Tenzan was made by the first generation, Iwanokura by the second generation, and Shichida by the third generation.
Good evening, sleepy healer 🍻.
GW was closed for the brewery and I couldn't go 😊Thanks 🙏✨ for a good preview for next time.
I've never seen the rock warehouse before 👀.
It would be helpful if you could do a tasting ☺️.
Pon-chan, good evening ❗I was told that each ceramic barrel is hand painted and slightly different 😄Saga is famous for its ceramics and they used to sell them by weight 🍶It was a beautiful display inside the warehouse 👍.
Chidorisoku 🇺🇦🤝🇷🇺 Good evening 🇺🇦🤝🇷🇺 ❗I visited on Saturday early GW and it was open! 😅Iwa no kura seems to be distributed only in Kyushu 😅I tasted it and bought it without hesitation 😁.
Mr. Sleepy Healer glad to hear another precious information😊.
Thank you very much 😊.
I guess the brewery is also focusing on sales, it seems to be closed on Sundays and flag days 😿 lucky you 👍✨.
You've got it 😁.
Chidorisoku 🇺🇦🤝🇷🇺Thank you for the information 🙇 We were lucky that the sake brewery was just open! 👍The sake shop we were going to visit in Fukuoka was closed and we couldn't buy the sake we were looking for 🤣.
