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.
It is a good day because I met a good sake store, Gotoya, in Kita-ku, Nagoya. I bought a bottle of sake for the first time.
Aside from that, I never get tired of Tengumai, so I can enjoy it until it runs out!
