Impression] Refreshingly light and dry.
Tengu Mai is known for its yamahai style, but this one is more like a fast brewer.
The ginjo aroma is moderate, but the taste is pleasantly fruity. The taste is refreshing with a light, refreshing balance typical of summer sake. As a food sake, it goes well with light foods.
Those who are familiar with Tengumai's Yamahai brand will find this summer sake's "refreshing betrayal" more interesting.
Repeat Score] 2.0
The well-known strong style Tengu Mai. This is a super dry summer sake. It gives the impression of having a strong umami axis, but is it?
When you drink it, you can still taste the umami and sweetness of the rice. However, there is also a slight melon-like fruity flavor, and a strong graininess, making it a very drinkable sake. It is said to be dry, so the sugar content is probably low, and there is a clean aftertaste.
I think it would go well with strong flavored soy sauce based simmered dishes or yakitori with sauce. It may have more umami if it is kept at room temperature.
On this day, there are many retro-labeled sakes in the cold storage on the first floor of Noe House.
Let's be a little adventurous!
This is only my third visit to Tengumai!
Although it is a famous sake, it is not easy to find!
And it's a Junmai Daiginjo!
It was a clean and calm sake!
I guess it doesn't have much of an impact.
I hope I will encounter another Tengu Mai again!

Tastes like the limited edition sake I used to buy at Tengu Mai 😌 Complex flavor! Full-bodied fermented flavor, a hint of bitterness, and some fruitiness 🍋.
Hope the Sakurada sake brewery, which suffered from the disaster, recovers soon!
