Slightly peculiar aroma in the nose
Koji?
The taste is sweet, but there is a little bit of a kick.
There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste, and there is an alcohol taste that numbs the tongue a little, but does not leave that much of a residue on the palate.
I don't like it.
I had another Tengu Mai before, and it was not my favorite strain, but compared to that, it is easy to drink.
Tengu Mai itself is a brewery that ages its sake, so it is recommended for those who like matured sake.
When served with moromi tofu, the peculiarity of the aroma disappears and the umami and sweetness become stronger.
deliciously mellow, aroma slightly strong (straw), attack slightly strong, dry
Dry, slightly strong aroma (straw), slightly strong attack,

Label renewal, limited overseas release?
Junmai Daiginjyo, squeezed in spring, is left to mature slowly over the summer, resulting in a mellow flavor with a harmonious harmony of aromas and flavors. The gentle aftertaste complements the rich, flavorful foods of autumn.
Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic), 100% Hyakumangoku No Shiro rice, Polishing ratio 50%, Alcohol 15%.
It is an easy-to-drink delicious sake with a light acidity.
Purchased with Nanbu Bijin at Aeon.
I thought it was the same date as Nanbu Bijin which was on special price, but the shipment was in July this year😅.
Well, I guess it doesn't matter if the date is old for Tengumai 🤔.
It doesn't say, but the official website says it's Yamahai.
I imagined it would have a punchy taste, but it was quite sweet and the second half was a bit guttural, but it was more acidic and easier to drink than I expected. I was surprised at the taste, which is a little different from the label.
