Local Tochigi sake.
When you put it in your mouth, you first taste a gentle sweetness. The spiciness lingers in the mouth. The deliciousness of the rice can be felt gradually. It is easy to drink without being too assertive.
People who like it strong may find it watery. The sweetness and rice flavor could be felt a little later after opening the bottle, so it might be good to wait a little longer.
I like it because it is easy to drink. It was empty in an instant. I recommend drinking it with a meal!
Amataka Organic Junmai Sparkling Nama Shu
68% (Kake 80%, Koji 20%) 15% 720ml 1760yen
Organic sake made without using pesticides or fertilizers. Tenryaka is committed to organic sake.
It is also sparkling, with fine bubbles from the second fermentation in the bottle.
It has no sweetness and is dry, refreshing, and dry. It is a good sake for toasting as only Amataka, which is particular about dryness, can make.

Junmai Daiginjo
unpasteurized sake
Normal to subtle for the price.
I don't think I'll buy it.
I think the regular Ten-Takashin was better.
Purchased as a souvenir from Tochigi. I had had it before in a cup or something and was left with the impression that it was spicy and delicious, so I decided to try it this time and bought the raw type!
I found out later that it was a limited edition for convenience stores.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma had a calm green fruitiness, like pear or melon.
The mouthfeel has a freshness that is typical of nama-shu, but it is smooth and has a sweetness from the rice that seems to fit on the tongue.
From there, the spicy acidity slowly emerges and turns into a spicy-amami type of flavor. It is a delicious taste with a perfect balance of umami richness and spiciness, reminiscent of the cup sake we drank before!
Finally, the sharpness of the astringent taste comes and lingers, so it is a deliciously spicy and fruity taste somewhat reminiscent of "Bakuren"👍.
It is my favorite flavor and does not disappoint!
It's also perfect for a mid-meal reset ✨
Hi Jay & Nobby!
Maybe it's a limited edition that is only available at 711! I think it would be interesting to visit 711 since there was a similar limited edition in the neighboring Gunma Prefecture 👍.
