@Oikawa.
Collaboration sake from Tenmei Machida Brewery.
It's a jacket buy lol
It is a delicious sake, but I don't have the tongue to tell you how good this sake is...,
It's not syrupy, but it's fruity and sweet, and in my opinion, it would have been better if I could have felt a little more of each brewer's flavor.
That's my impression!
However, I am sure it is a delicious sake!
Good taste!
After wandering around Wakamatsu city at night and returning to the hotel, the after-party was a pair of "Tenmei" and "Aizu Musume" (🍶).
We started with "Tenmei".
When the bottle is opened, it has a gorgeous aroma reminiscent of melon and muscat.
The palate is fresh and sharp with no blurring from start to finish. It has a sweet, sour, and astringent taste like green fruits and citrus. It has a brightness that pulls up the palate clearly while also producing a light, rice-like flavor. It is a taste that can be enjoyed on its own!
At Nihon Shu-Tsubaki in Jujo.
Sweet and sour with strong sweetness and sourness.
It has a dry aftertaste with bitterness and astringency.
The more I drank, the more the sourness stood out.
Still, it is cohesive and delicious.
Date of production: February 2024
It's been a long time since I've seen Tenmei.
The overall impression is light due to the low alcohol content.
It is refreshingly fruity and the sweetness is weak, but when the lees are mixed, it becomes just right. It has a good flavor, and the acidity is not so strong. The bitterness comes in gradually afterwards.
I bought it because of the nice label, but I didn't recognize it because of the black bottle, but I didn't realize it was light nigori until I was about to finish the bottle😅.
It was delicious and balanced once the lees were mixed in. I regret that I would have mixed it if I had known from the beginning 😣.

Good morning, Mr. Studying!
Tenmei-san's Sarasara Junmai. I have the impression that many people like it at Sake no Wa ✨.
The label is also very summery and eye-catching 🎆.
Oh the black bottle is indeed a little hard to see inside 😅.
Hi, I'm studying 😃.
Fireworks 🎇Picture of fireworks on the label 🎆, felt like summer 😄.
You can't tell the light cloudiness from the black bottle 😅.
I like that it's low al and easy to drink 🥹.
I thought I would drink it when I see it 😆.
Good evening, studying 😃
We too noticed the nigori when we were almost done drinking 😅A nice light one for the summer 😅It's also nice to drink while watching the ‼️ fireworks 😊.
Good morning, Hiro 😃I happened to have a family member who was at the Expo and delivered a photo of the fireworks so I had them collaborate with me: ☺️ I'm sure Masamune hunters can find it! I hope you find it 💡and drink it 😆.
Jay & Nobby, good morning 😃I'm glad you share my feelings 😆The fireworks were sent to me by my family and I haven't been able to drink while watching them. I would love to drink while watching fireworks from a rooftop or something without crowds 😁.
At Nihon Shu-Tsubaki in Jujo.
It has a robust sweetness and a firm umami flavor.
It has a nice bitter taste with a sharp and clean aftertaste.
It leaves a lingering aftertaste in the mouth.

I saw this on the Concept Workers Selection's Instagram and thought, "I want to try it because it has a cute label and it's a kijoshu! I saw it on the Concept Workers Selection instagram and thought, "I want to try this!
It has a mild sweetness and acidity, and a slight bitterness like grapefruit or Hassaku.
The color of the sake when poured has a slight yellowish tint, which gives the illusion that it is not the yellowish color of sake, but the color of squeezed juice of lemon or hassaku 😳.
Tenmei Yamadanishiki, Hokkaido Comet SINGLE
Rating 4.3
Sweetness/spiciness: Medium, Rice: Yamadanishiki from Aizu Sakashita, Comet from Hokkaido Uryu, Polishing ratio: 65%, Alcohol percentage: 16.1%, Sake meter: ±0, Acidity: 1.6
SINGLE LIMITED EDITION" is a series of small-batch sake brewed by Akebono Shuzo with a view to the "near future of Tenmei". The comet dances lightly and the Yamadanishiki supports the core.
Yamadanishiki produced in Aizu-bange and Comet grown by a contract farmer in Uryu Town, Hokkaido. The yeast used is Association No. 1001. The rice polishing ratio is 65%.
The finish is ogara-mi, raw without hi-ire.
The core of the flavor is the full flavor of Yamadanishiki. The lightness and sharpness of the comet blend exquisitely and begin to dance rhythmically in the mouth.
The gentle aroma of Association 1001 yeast, which reminds one of pears, elegantly envelops the entire bottle, and the aftertaste has a dry "bitterness" that Tenmei is particular about. The mouthfeel is soft, and the umami and acidity are well balanced in this "mid-palate" type. The cool mouthfeel gives a sense of dignified sophistication. The aroma opens up softly and the umami gradually expands. The umami is slightly caramelized.
We went to Hiroshima for the live concert of Koji Kikkawa and Tamio Okuda 🎤 Both of them were so cool that I couldn't believe they are both 60 years old.
The drinks after the concert were delicious 😆.
It was light, clear, and delicious!
Sake from the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture.
The sake rice used is 100% Yumeko, locally grown in Aizu Sakashita.
The alcohol content is a little low at 14 degrees.
The beauty of the label suggests a gentle taste, but the texture is very drinkable and moist. After drinking, it has a noble flavor.
It would go well with dishes that are a little strong in flavor.
My first Tenmei, my first Akebono sake. I bought it at Iseya Kimishima Shoten in Fukushima on my way back from a trip to Miyagi. There was a friendly and kind lady owner.
Full, fruity aroma. Melon and apples come to the fore, with a hint of banana. In the mouth, sweetness precedes the taste, but the moderate acidity is sharp and does not make the taste sweet. There is a hint of umami and no bitterness. There is almost no lingering aroma in the aftertaste, and it wears off without a hitch. The alcohol content is moderate and easy to drink, making it a good choice for those who want to enjoy sake from now on. It is not suitable for a mealtime drink, but rather for toasting or the first half of a meal. It is best paired with salads and sour tomatoes.
The description states that the rice is milled to 65%, the alcohol content is 11.5%, it is a four-stage brewing process, and the rice is sake brewing grade rice.
Good evening, Mr. Shintaro😃!
Congratulations on your first Tenmei at Fireworks🎇㊗️🎉We had ours here a while ago 🤗Low al but with a good flavor 😋It's good!
Hello Jay & Nobby! Thank you for your message! Sorry it took so long to get back to you!
Yes, it was impressive, not like water, but low alcohol with a lot of flavor. It was delicious👍
Watanabe Sota Hanpukai sake.
100% "Comet" from Hokkaido is used.
It is so lightly cloudy that you can hardly see the characters at the bottom of the glass.
It is so light and smooth on the palate that it does not feel as if it has 16.1 degrees of alcohol content.
It is refreshing, sweet and sour, and delicious.
It is not too sour and has a perfect balance.
It has a nice bitterness that is not too harsh and leaves a clean aftertaste.
It is too easy to drink and you will get drunk soon.
Date of manufacture: February 2024
Release date: February 17, 2024
Nice to meet you😊I saw this post and thought ⁈Tenmei no Kijoshu⁈I would love to try it! I would love to try it, but unfortunately it's not available where I can go to buy it💦.
It looks delicious 😋I think I'll order it online 😁.
Junmai Daiginjo made with 83% Yumeko and 16% Yamadanishiki.
Slightly white?
Pear-like, sweet aroma of rice. Sweet and delicious.
Slightly bitter taste. There is also a little sourness. The sweet and sourness is pineapple.
Too sweet? I think it's too sweet at first sip, but it's good.
Leave it for a while. The melon aroma increases 😍.
Only two days left of Obon vacation. Let's open a bottle of summer sake 🎆❗️ first time for Tenmei 🎉.
I was thinking in the sun from the morning "Tonight - low alcohol - summer sake 🤣" as I accompanied my husband to his training session today 💪 in the hot sun from this morning.
The Fireworks label Tenmei was as good as expected ⭐️ Not too sweet, not too spicy, not too sour and bitter, but not as light as cider, a proper summer sake, and goes well with food 🥰Thanks for the gorgeous label to uplift my hard day, it's perfect for today 💞!
Special Chicken Tang, Seared Inari and a little light salad. I like black pepper, and the chicken with pepper went well with the Tenmei 😍The lemon doesn't spoil the aroma because it's not so acidic👍.
And the seared rice cake! I just roasted the one I bought, but with a twist, it goes quite well with sake 🤭.
It's dangerous to drink it too quickly because you think it's low in alcohol 🤭. 🤣
Impressions of the alcohol by itself are in charge of shinsaku3 💕.
Good evening, Pekho 😄I'm counting down the days to summer vacation, I'm so sad 😩How fun it would be to have summer vacation every day 😆I'm sure it must be hard to keep up with your husband's training in the hot sun 😅I'll be up at 4:30am tomorrow to train 💦.
Hinahana mama 😊☀️ oooh! I'm so glad you're doing the training. Do you accompany your dad? I wonder if they train together💞It's going to be hot tomorrow too, so be careful and good luck 💪🔥You can't drink in the morning next to me 🤭.
Hi Pekho 😃
Sweating 💦 activity from the first thing in the morning makes me think of having dinner early in the evening without feeling guilty ‼️ 😆 Seared Inari! Looks delicious 😋.
Jay & Nobby 😊Good evening ✨Yes, ❤️ good sweat and good drinks 💪😋 We want to fully enjoy the hot season too!
Following your example, we started walking too‼️
Today we had another summer sake 🍶☀️ like yesterday😃.
This is our first "Tenmei" 😃.
According to the description
According to the description, "A clear, low-alcohol sake that expresses the scene of a summer night sky with fireworks."
👍
Delicious 😋.
Calm summer sake 👍
When I think of summer sake, I imagine a sparkling, light, clear, juicy 🥤 feeling, but it was a solid sake 😃.
But the low alcohol content of 11.5 degrees makes it very light on the palate and easy to drink 👍.
The description on the back says "summer nostalgia", so maybe they wanted to express the nostalgic aspect of Obon instead of the vibrant summer 🧐.
I had it chilled.

Good evening, shinsaku3!
I thought Tenmei's summer sake was low alcohol and light, but it's a solid sake 🍶It seems to have a rather pungent taste. That would be... 💧I'd like to try Pekho-san's seared Inari 🤩.
Good morning, hinahana mama 😃.
For a summer sake, it was more of a quiet and mature drink into the world rather than a swoosh and excitement 😃.
The seared rice cake was quite delicious 😋.
chika-san hina hana mama 😊 try roasting the supermarket inari on a burner 💓 the sugars in the abura-age broth will be charred sizzling and a new flavor will develop 🥰.
Pekho, you got it 🫡.
I'm going to go buy some Inari now!
I just got home from an early morning practice 😩.
Morning practice is training for a couple 😅.
Hi shinsaku3😃!
Congratulations on your first Tenmei with fireworks 🎉Congratulations to you too, we finally got ours this month after over a year 😋It's a low al but a solid one for sure 🤗It went Swiss 😆.
Hi shinsaku3 🐦.
Congratulations on your first Tenmei 🎉I was wondering many times if it would be like summer because of the sparkling label, but it is surprisingly calm 😳I would like to drink it even more 😁.
HinaHanaMama 💪Wow‼️ that's great that you and your wife are training together ‼️ By the way, what kind of sport is it 🧐 we both have our own imaginations 💓
Delicious seared rice cake, it's a treat with sake 🥰.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
Thank you very much 😊.
The label on the back of the bottle says "Summer Nostalgia", it tastes just like that, I thought this kind of summer sake is also possible 👍.
