I bought it because I had never had anything other than Igarashi.
I was expecting a big-boned but new sake-like piquancy, but it was rather flat.
Always a cemedine-like resinous feel.
Tenranzan was purchased at the recent New Sake Festival. I wonder if it is only sold directly? It has a very fruity aroma. LaFrance? I don't know, but it has a fruity aroma. The clear acidity is very refreshing. The sweetness is quite subdued, with a schwirling, bitter aftertaste. Combined with the fruity aroma, it is a delicious bottle that does not make you tired of drinking.
the matter of one's future
I got a lot of things from NOCHI 🙌
I got a lot of things from Nochi-san!
and a somewhat tongue-in-cheek drink called
Pork bites!
Perhaps to show off my size.
Also, Coed beer that goes well with meat, and
and some very tasty spare ribs!
The pork bits have a shelf life of about 2 weeks and it's hard to eat a 6 pack 🤣.
They were all delicious, ahah ❗️
Huh? That's not it.
I sent you a big one, but maybe it was too big and you got shocked? Don't you remember?
I hope you enjoy the miso pickles, too.
I don't expect to see a misty Tsukuba, you know 🫣.
It's closer than Mt. Haruna.
It has a full-bodied, delicious apple flavor with a hint of grain aroma 😌 The sake is soft and smooth on the palate. The slightly subdued taste makes it a perfect evening sake with Japanese food.
The manholes around Higashi-Tokorozawa station are colorful 😳There is even an illuminated manhole that lights up on its own with LED ✨!
Hello, Mr. Nochi 🐥.
If you go to Musashino, Omiya ↔︎ Higashi-Tokorozawa was 3 stops away 😁If you are distracted by manholes, you will be led to Musashino Museum 😄The buildings and bookshelves were spectacular!
My favorite local sake, Tenranzan. Although I now live in a neighboring city, I actually look forward to receiving DMs at home from my address book when I previously bought pre-order items, and I like this sake so much that I go all the way to the brewery to buy it instead of mail order.
While I went to buy the Jungin and the Autumn Limited, I also grabbed the Junmai Naokumi because it was a masterpiece when I drank it before.
The aroma of alcohol and sour fruitiness is mild and pleasant. I could also smell a slight grain nuance.
When you include it, it has more body than I expected. There is a slight acidity like unripe plums, but it is clearly more umami than sweetness, and these seem to contribute to the ease of drinking and understanding.
It has a gusto to it, but as the days go by, it mellows out. It is a sake that is easy to drink without losing its characteristics, so it is best not to judge it by its first day.
I am looking forward to the active nigori (nigori rice wine) that will be released in November or December!
Izakaya Shinkansen-like opening.
Palm @ yearning for business trip
We will have Tenranzan on the express on the return trip from the Igarashi Sake Brewery New Sake Festival. I bought it at a supermarket in the station building.
Both Tenranzan and Igarashi have a solidity that attracts me. But this one, however, is from ......
I fell asleep when I wrote this. I don't remember my impression. When I came to, I was in front of Ikebukuro. Well...what was I going to write?
Good morning, palm farmer 😃.
Good 🍶drinking iron🚃 🤗Review of the good seeds of the new sake festival🍶 will help ☺️
I understand your yearning for business trips🏮 to the Izakaya Shinkansen🚅😇!
Good morning, Jay & Nobby. The ride time of 38 minutes flew by. I would have liked to take my time and drink a little more while admiring the scenery... but I didn't have the energy 💦.
The aroma is like pineapple and apple. The reason why the aroma is not unpleasant despite its fragrance is because it is wonderfully elegant. You can feel the solid structure that is typical of Tenranzan, and the ginjo aroma makes it a very elegant sake.
This is the third year I have bought this sake, and it is really delicious. If it were available year-round, people would probably come to buy it, but they don't, do they? I like this one, which I can almost certainly buy at the brewery in the fall, even if it is not Igarashi, which is a sake only available at special dealers.
I have a feeling that Igarashi has evolved after the Corona disaster, but thinking about it, I haven't had Igarashi recently, so I think I'll buy some next time. I wonder if it is much the same as Tenranzan...?
By the way, I recently discovered that I like apple-type sake, which I thought I didn't like. Actually, I guess it is not apples that I don't like, but pineapples.
Also, I have a concern that I may not be good at melons either. My tongue is getting stupid these days, and I can't really tell which flavors are similar to which fruits.
At any rate, as for the melon, there was a package that looked like a Niida Zenshuu melon, so I will buy it next season to check it out.
This sake is locally distributed in Igarashi.
The brewer said it is his favorite sake because he has not had many similar sake, but what does it taste like?
It's autumn and it's still sake! It doesn't have a bright, sunny feeling, nor is it fresh. It does not have a gorgeous aroma, nor is it a voluptuous type of sake.
It is moist from the moment you drink it until after you swallow it. No matter how far it goes, it is always moist. It has a spiciness that is typical of Tenranzan, but it is still moist. The taste like LaFrance or lychee comes from this moistness and freshness.
But that does not mean that it is light. It has a slightly mellow, slightly dry mid-palate, and although there is no dizzying change in flavor after drinking, it is a well-balanced sake with a delicious fruitiness accompanied by acidity and a certain sweet umami flavor.
It is a very interesting sake with many characteristics that are unspoken. I don't think I've had many sakes like this. It may be the one and only sake.
From the second day, it was just like KAYA from Hachibei Sake Shop, and it was also excellent when warmed up!
It was a gem that could secretly impress me like an autumn sake. Recently, I thought that Igarashi Sake Brewery might be the best sake brewer in Saitama.
flos_lingua_est,
I am secretly impressed and curious!
I also like Tenranzan, and Kagamiyama in Kawagoe, but Kagamiyama is related to Igarashi Shuzo, and these two breweries are my personal favorites in Saitama.
Mr. Hiraccio.
It's supposed to sneak out again next year, so if you happen to be passing by the brewery, by all means lol.
I thought Igarashi Shuzo had revived Kagamiyama? Both of these sake are of solid quality, aren't they? High profile breweries, I strongly agree with you 🤗.
flos_lingua_est, good morning 😊I would like to go to Hanno.
The second son of Igarashi Shuzo is the brewer of Kagamiyama and it seems that most of the sake is bottled at Igarashi Shuzo since Kagamiyama does not have bottling facilities.
So, if you look at the endorsement label of Kagamiyama sake, you will see that the manufacturer is Koedo Kagamiyama Shuzo, but the processing plant may be listed as Igarashi Shuzo,
The label on the back of Kagamiyama's sake may indicate that the manufacturer is Koedo Kagamiyama Sake Brewery, but the processing plant is Igarashi Shuzo.
When I make taro stew (soy sauce based, beef), I want to drink Yamagata Prefecture sake, but since the taro and konnyaku are from Saitama Prefecture, I decided to use Saitama sake.
I warmed up a bottle of "Tenranzan" autumn-aged junmai sake from the Igarashi Shuzo brewery in Hanno.
It is already rich and full-flavored at room temperature, but the more it is heated up, the more crisp it becomes.
It is a good evening sake and could have been served in a full bottle.
I remember a post by Shinjo-san two years ago when he came to Saitama and drank this sake at a tasting machine at Koedo Kurasato in Kawagoe and liked it.
Hello.
You remember me very well.
Regular sake is also good for dinner!
Tenranzan is worth buying even though it is located in a place that is not easy to get to!
Super dry sake is also good!
Saitama is ranked last in terms of attractiveness, but for me, Saitama is at the top!
The attractiveness ranking is like a prefecture you want to visit for sightseeing from Tokyo,
So, it is no problem for Saitama Prefecture to get the lowest rank this time👍.
It is easy to live in,
There are a lot of Japanese sake that has a classical Japanese style.
New sake has started to appear, so we decided to have autumn sake while it is still in season 😁.
I can smell it but there is no way to describe it 😰.
Strong acidity followed by a slight sweetness that finishes with spiciness 🤔.
Pungency > sourness > sweetness
The label is designed as a pear 🍐 and I feel it is fruity, but I have never tasted a pear ⁇
It tastes completely different from Igarashi from the same brewery 🤗.
Igarashi is also very delicious 🍶, but it has a different taste, but Tenranzan is just as delicious 🍶. ☺️ I look forward to visiting the brewery when I go back home 😋.
Alcohol content: 17%.
Rice Polishing Ratio: 70
Rice used for making sake (Sake-mother/Koji): Sake Musashi
Rice used for making (Kake rice): Sai-no-Kagayaki
The 2nd day after opening the bottle
The acidity has gone, but it has transformed into a mild sweetness, and the moderate spiciness makes it crisp and clean 😘.
The taste has changed from sweetness > spiciness
Personally, I think it tastes better than right after opening the bottle 🥰.
I was attracted by the picture of the propeller and the label "Tokorozawa" 🤗If you look closely, you can see the pilot's seat is a basket 😱It looks like it might come off at some point 😱I can feel the history of this boat.
It's a honjozo, but I like the slight chili taste and the full-bodied, gentle sweetness 😌.
The aroma is softly reminiscent of apples 😌 The aftertaste is slightly bitter and acidic with a sharpness! It was a deliciously spicy sake that went well with meals.
