We received tuna from the Genkainada Sea, so we opened a bottle of new sake that we had purchased on our recent trip to Saga. It was refreshing, yet the fat from the tuna flowed through it and was delicious.
Tenzan Sake Brewery is located on the other side of the river, a little further up the mountain after exiting the highway. It was a great location and the employees were so friendly that we ended up buying four bottles of sake instead of the three we had intended. I bought 4 bottles of sake instead of 3.
The rest is for heating sake. I am looking forward to it.
At a tasting by sake merchant Yamada.
It has a delicious taste and above all, the acidity gives it a nice flavor 😊.
The brewer who was at the tasting said that the acidity is unique to Yamahai.
It was my favorite out of all the Shichida's ✨.
I would have bought some if I could, but I only tasted it this time because of a conflict with my schedule.
I would like to buy it in the future.
Good evening, soumacho!
I haven't tried Shichida yet, but I'm curious about Umakuchi Junmai because of the name 🤤.
It looks very tasty, so if I meet you at my first Shichida, I'd love to take you there 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki 😃.
The Junmai Ginjo was rather easy to drink and tasty, but this Umakuchi Junmai had a distinctive acidity that made a big impact 😋.
There are so many Saga sakes that I'm interested in 💦.
We had it at a tasting event at Yamada-san, a sake merchant in Hiroshima City.
I have not had Nanada-san since this winter.
It is juicy to the taste and easy to drink with a nice sharpness😊.
It is a standard product, 2020BY.
There was also 2021 in the store, but I chose this one.
Both were made in 2025, so I think the brewery is telling us it's time to drink them.
However, as I believe that long aging is justice, I chose this one. Not that it really matters (laughs).
My favorite Shichida: ❗️
It was made in February, and then left out for a summer, so it's a little more rounded than the usual Shichida.
I don't have to tell you, it's delicious 😋.

Rice feel. Slightly dry? It has a sweet taste in the mouth at first, but when you taste it thoroughly, it sinks in and you realize that it is rice. Maybe it sinks in even more because it is a sake of memories.
