Recently, I heard that they changed the rice. Compared to before, I feel that both the taste and aroma have become gentler (before it was more flashy). The flavor of the rice is delicious.
Izakaya located north of Fukuoka Airport
A bit of a walk, but I was attracted by the many variations of chicken sashimi and the large selection of sake.
Slightly chilled cold sake
It is cloudy white.
Mellow sweetness in the mouth
Slightly carbonated
The sake itself is delicious, but the sweetness is so strong that it does not complement the accompaniments, so it is best to pair it with accompaniments that are not overpowered by the strong flavor.
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.

Amataka Kokoro
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.
