Tenmei Nakadori Zero, obtained in Aizu Sakashita.
I bought it in a bottle!
I came all the way to Aizu to buy it (I also climb mountains lol), so rather than regret not buying a bottle, I regret buying one! I chose the one of the following.
But this is delicious without discovery! It was a good decision to take on the challenge! The sweetness and sourness are perfect for my taste. The aroma of the sake is also very elegant and complements the taste.
As expected from Fukushima and Aizu! It's just as I expected from Fukushima and Aizu.
Very nice! I have to find a liquor store near me where I can buy Tenmei, or I will have to go to Aizu to buy it again.
Hi Kappuku, nice to meet you. I would like to try Tenmei after reading your post. If you are in Tokyo, you can often find the same brand at Yamauchiya near Nippori station. I think they always have several kinds.
It was autumn and the sake was not hiyaoroshi but nama-zake! I bought it. It has a crisp, soft taste with a hint of acidity that is not too assertive.
It is a beautiful sake that is easy to drink.
This is last year's zero. The flavor is on it, and it goes great with the persimmon and pork shabu salad with kombu dressing (yum).
This year's will be available in the next week or so.
It has been ice-aged in a store for about 3 years.
The aroma is soft and subdued, reminiscent of ripe bananas, pears, and apricots.
There is a slight chili flavor.
Complex yet clean sweetness and umami derived from the nama-moto (sake brewing process). It is a delicious sake with a milky, soft richness and a smooth, refreshing taste.
I'm curious about the Japanese pear label! I thought I bought it, but upon closer inspection, it was just orange? LOL!
However, it has a strong acidity like Japanese pear, and I think it is probably made according to the concept. It also has a slightly lactic acid-like nuance.
Well, even though sake with acidity is popular, this type of acidity is a bit unique. It's not bad, but it might be a little tiring.

Impression: Beautiful, umami, dry.
The aroma is modest, with nuances of green apples and cooked rice. The overall taste is very well-balanced. While making the most of Kame-no-o's character (a little wildness and graininess), a moderate thickness and soft acidity coexist. The flavor is mildly umami rather than showy. It is refreshing and can be drunk both warmed and chilled.
Pairing] Nishikyo-yaki Spanish mackerel, grilled chicken, smoked cheese, etc.
Repeat Score] 2.0
