#Sake
The motif of this sake is the Toki, the city bird of Sado Island, with a wish that the children of Sado Island will be able to spread their "ROMAN" to the world! The heart of the Toki on the label is in the shape of Sadogashima Island! This sake has a strong flavor, but also has a noticeably sharp aftertaste!
I ordered this sake while I could taste it, as I had seen it a lot lately. It is characterized by its balance without any peculiarities. I think this kind of sake would shine if the food is the star of the show.
Standard Daiginjo - fresh melon and banana on both nose & palate. I don’t think there is much other characteristics - slightly raw rice sweetness. I would think the mint (bamboo, mint) is a bit too prominent - perhaps due to the addition of brewing alcohol. Still nice to match with seafood after all.
Tenryohai Junmai.
A sake brewery on Sado Island that has changed management and is taking on new challenges such as Gagakuyo.

This Junmai has no outstanding elements, but it is brewed with rice produced on Sado Island and has a rich flavor.
Serve with salmon meuniere in curry.
After work, I stopped by the sake department of the Shinjuku Keio Department Store.
The Junmai Ginjo prototype of Sado's Tenryohai was being promoted as if it was making its first appearance in Tokyo, and I immediately grabbed it without hesitation.
The slight fizzy sensation was followed by a discreet pineapple 🍍.
I think I could see the will to improve the quality and achieve elegant sake brewing results without being too showy.
Tenryohai is a sake that I am very interested in seeing evolve among Niigata sake.
