It's been a while since I've had Tenmei.
The sweetness of this sake 🍶 makes me want to drink it every once in a while😙.
It has a clean sweetness and a little bit of umami flavor: ☺️
But the whole thing is put together in a very smooth way 😄.
There is no cloying taste, and it has a wonderful sharpened and clear throat 😚.
I expected it to be a bit sweeter, but it was clean, light, clear, and elegant 🤗.
I guess it was a one rank above Tenmei 😁.
Hi Hiro, good evening.
I got this one too and am waiting in the cellar 🎵.
It's named a little rich so maybe it's a step up 😁✨.
I'm looking forward to drinking it 😋.
Luxurious Junmai Daiginjo class with 100% Yamadanishiki from Aizu Sakashita and a 50% polishing ratio.
The aroma is floral! A little herbal and fresh, but very floral. Lychee can also be sensed.
Juicy sweetness like peaches. And what is surprising is the softness on the palate. I would say that there is almost no peculiar twang (stimulation) in the mouthfeel of sake. In addition to the orikara, there is a mellowness peculiar to the brewery.
There is a pleasant acidity and a very light bitterness in the aftertaste.
Wow, this...umm...oh my...oh my...oh my...oh my...oh my...oh my...oh my...oh my...oh my!
It's like...well, it's as if the strange medicinal smell from the "so-called cherry blossom flavor" has been removed and you are enjoying the pure "cherry blossom" flavor...and as soon as it spreads in your mouth, it fades away...it's like an amazingly fleeting beauty...! Nbi! Nbi! ...
I finished it in no time. The bottle design and taste are very nice. One more of my favorite breweries has been added. Thank you again.
Here are some extras.
This bottle has an "anchor shoulder," similar to a Bordeaux-shaped wine bottle, compared to regular sake bottles. The Bordeaux type is said to prevent the lees from entering the glass after long aging.
But this sake is "orikarami"...
...
I took this as an order to drink it without the lees.
KOTSUN KOTSUN
KOTSUN KOTSUN...
So I tried to drink it without the oriole, but I accidentally stirred it and ended up drinking it with the oriole, out of habit. Sorry for not following the order, boss!
The regulars at our usual restaurant decided to have a Hanami🌸 banquet on Sunday.
I brought a bottle of "Tenmei" that I had ordered.
I brought my order of Tenmei and joined the party. I took a bottle of Tenmei with me.
As the label on the back says "Our Acid", the balance of sourness and sweetness is perfect and it was quickly consumed.
The balance of sourness and sweetness was so perfect that it was consumed in no time at all.
I was so happy to be able to enjoy it. 😆 😆
The "肆" was written in the old Chinese alphabet "四", but I couldn't read it at first.

The orange label is reminiscent of citrus.
The mineral acidity (can't come up with a good description) that you feel afterwards is fresh and tangerine-like.
It was delicious.
Best!
This is the only one in the Nakadori series that I had never gotten. It is sweet but not sweet, delicious. It is refreshing. It seems more dry when mixed with ori.
I think I prefer No.2 and No.3.
I would like to try it again next year.
