Junmai 🍶Non-filtered raw sake✨Nakadori Sangyo 82% Kame-no-o from Oogata-mura, Akita Prefecture🌾17% Yamadanishiki from Aizu Prefecture🌾.
Slight aroma. Good acidity, not harsh. Melon🍈 Not strong but gentle. Nice umami. Clean and clear taste. It matches with the gentle taste of grilled sea bream. It is also good with grilled chicken wings. It is also good with taro with gorgonzola cheese. An all-rounder.

I chose it because of its autumnal, moon-viewing-like label 😊.
This one was not heated as usual, but refrigerated and matured in its raw state.
Gentle aroma, sweet and sour like ripe fruit when you drink it, well-balanced collaboration of umami and acidity, and a light bitter pungency on the back end, somewhere between modern and classic 😆.
It's the type of sake that makes you drink more and more without even knowing it 😋.

I told them I got a sticker last year, and they gave me a new sticker this time too 😊.
◉Kame-no-o 65 Hon-nama re preparation
I thought it would be interesting to try a sake made with Kame-no-o rice, a noble sake, and I found it to be quite tasty. It has a melon-like texture and is sweet and delicious. It has a melon-like mouthfeel, and is sweet and sour with a smooth sweetness. It is made every two or three years, and some years it is not made.
◉Tenmei Tank Shiboribori Junmai Ginjo Kuro, hot sake, quenched, hi-iru
Aizu Yamadanishiki. The acidity is clearly defined and has a tingling sensation that stimulates the tongue.
I was wondering if I should buy Kame-no-o Kijo-shu 💦.
Tenmei Aki-agari Nama Jungin Beautiful Autumn Otsukimi
Rated 4.4-4.3
Rice: Miyamanishiki 50% polished rice, Yeast: Association 901, Utsukushima Yume Yeast F701, malic acid-hyperproducing yeast, Sake meter: -1, Acidity: 1.8, Amino acidity: 1.3, Body: 15.0
A blend of three different yeasts. The mouthfeel is appealingly mellow with nuances of ripe apricots and apples, and rounded corners that retain the freshness of the unpasteurized sake. Light to medium-bodied with the impression of being plump and soft, the sweetness is refined and accompanied by a sense of freshness, the acidity is fresh and apple-like, with citrus bitterness and spiciness playing a supporting role. The acidity is tight, and the lingering finish is dry and dry.
The wine is dry with malic acidity, but the spiciness and bitterness are noticeable.

Nemuchi-san and Toji-san, who had visited the previous day, recommended Kame-no-o Kijo-zake, so we went to the Tenmei booth!
What did they drink?
Tenmei Kame-no-o 65 Hon-nama
It's a kijoshu, though it's not written on the bottle. It was the first time for me to try it, but it seems to be a product that has been around for a long time. It seems that they don't release it every year because it can't be made unless the base sake is prepared.
As Eiji-san said, it is melon-like sweet and tasty.
Akigari Nama Jungin beautiful autumn Otsukimi
I tasted it because I thought it was rare to have a raw sake made in autumn.
I think it was because I drank Kame-no-o first, but the taste didn't leave any impression.... I definitely should have had this one first💦.
I was pushing my cart through the venue and was embarrassed to be told by strangers that I was buying a lot of sake 😅! It was so embarrassing😅.
This is for two people 🙄.
after the autumn harvest
Refreshingly sweet like ramune
Accompaniments
chicken ham, fried salted vegetables, cheese (smoked)
salmon and tofu
It is good with the oily part of stir-fried vegetables.
Good with a little bit of raw fishiness of salmon and barbeque
Thank you very much.
