[Nigori Ekiden, Section 3.
We got the reservation items from last year. I mean, I got a phone call, "What are you going to do this year? (laugh) Of course, I immediately made a reservation and got it as soon as it went on sale!
You can see how much they value freshness as they are only available for direct pickup from 12/13 to 12/16.
When I poured it, the bubbles were so strong that they overflowed from the glass. What a waste! The mouthfeel has a gentle shuffling sensation on the palate, and the mild rice flavor and refreshing acidity are very pleasant.
It has no particular bitterness, so you can drink it as if it were amazake with a strong alcohol content. I have enjoyed amazake with both sakekasu and koji since I was a child, and I love this kind of amazake. Sake should be tender, or even sludgy. LOL!
Although it is 10% alcohol content, it is very drinkable thanks to the nigori (nigori is a milky liquid that is made of rice cake and koji). It is very tasty even when warmed up, so if you are interested, please make a reservation in November!
Yes, it is a sectional award with room to spare!
Purchased directly from the brewery
When served by itself, it had a sour taste, but when served with nijime, the sourness seemed to disappear.
Bitterness〉Sweetness〉Sourness
This is my personal impression.
Tenranzan Junmai Sake Peach Color Nigori Sake
The pinkness is reminiscent of strawberry ore! The aroma seems to be very sour!
The aroma seems to have a strong sourness!
The taste is quite sweet and acidic, as is typical of red yeast! Like other breweries, it is very easy to drink due to its low alcohol content (8 degrees)! It's very easy to drink!
I've been following sake with red yeast for a while now, but this is the first time for me! I'm glad I got it! 😜.

When I came back from my business trip, I was at Tenranzan in Hanno.
My wife bought me a souvenir 🍶.
It's a little spicy and refreshing 🤔🤔🤔.
First time in Tenranzan. Melon-like sweet aroma. It has a strong acidity and freshness, with a slight sweetness like plum wine. Igarashi is also delicious, but Tenranzan is more peculiar and has a stronger sake flavor, which I prefer.
It has been a long time since I have had Tenranzan. This is a local sake, but it has been quite a while since I have had one, except for some special sake. I drank this purple labeled Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Nama Sake Naokumi when it was released at the time the Kura Matsuri was cancelled due to the Corona disaster, with gold lettering. This time it is white. I was curious if the taste was the same or different, so I bought it immediately!
It has a tropical and gorgeous pineapple aroma. But it is not excessive.
When I tried it, I found that I don't dislike the pineapple flavor, but I didn't dislike it at all! The reason is that I'm just not good at spicy types with this aroma, and this one is not like that at all. You would think it would be full of energy when it is directly pumped, but it is not that much, and is rather moist and elegant.
It also has less bitterness at the end than the standard items, which is not unlike Igarashi or Tenranzan, but the smoothness is just right for late summer when the heat is still lingering.
It was a gorgeous, moist gem with a taste similar to that of the previous Kinmochi! All of Tenranzan's directly pumped sake is delicious!
Excuse me for the liqueur.
I had to work the next day and wanted a light drink.
I was talking about drinking it with soda, but it tastes better on the rocks or straight.
It was a prize from the 500-yen kurage gacha, but it's nice to have something like this once in a while.
How to drink: chilled
Preference 65
Label: Junmai Ginjo Nama
Color: Almost colorless and transparent
Nose: Slightly aged aroma. The lingering aroma is heavy.
Taste: Sweetness followed by a hint of odor.
Overall impression: It is a pity because I think it used to have a more refreshing taste. It may be that my memory is wrong, or that the taste has actually changed, or that the management conditions were poor, but it falls short of my expectations.
