Temperature 5°C
Taste 80
Color Pale brown
Nose: Slightly sweet with a hint of rice
Taste: The mouthfeel is tangy and spicy with a slight gasiness, followed by a soft sweetness. The aftertaste is crisp and dry, probably due to the high alcohol content.
Overall impression: Good on its own or with a meal.
A gift. This is the first sake I have ever known.
I like junmai sake, so I have never had much experience with ginjo-shu because of its light image, but this one is very tasty.
It is refreshing, but has umami flavor and does not interfere with meals.
I will try drinking ginjo-shu from now on.

I bought a bottle on my way home from a cherry blossom viewing trip to Lake Kamakita after receiving my bike, which had just had its regular inspection. I usually drink junmai sake, but I dared to choose honjozo. I heard it won a gold medal, and I had just changed the tire on my last bike, so I had just spent some money on it. Next week, Igarashi Sake Brewery is going to hold a brewery festival.
Nigori Ekiden, section 7.
I think I bought it for 1,400 or 1,600 yen... Last year I bought a pink-colored 8% sake called "Momoiro Nigori", but this year I bought a normal 15% active nigori. While the Momoiro Nigori was quite light and aimed at sake beginners and young people, I was looking forward to seeing how this one would taste!
When I opened it, bubbles rushed in from below, so much so that I thought it was going to blow up. It is so active that it is automatically stirred, which is easy lol.
Maybe my nose was stuffed up but the scent is pretty faint....not botanical and smells like grains and grass lol.
When you include it, you feel a slight sweetness for a moment, but then it quickly transforms into a food wine with the delicious taste of rice and a guttural bitterness that makes you crave a meal. It's like a person who has a friendly atmosphere but the moment you talk to him, you can tell he is a very solid person.... LOL!
It would go well with a bowl of rice topped with pickles, grilled fish with a strong flavor, omelette with minced meat and cheese, spare ribs with a meaty flavor, or a bowl of rice topped with beef or pork.
It is a locally distributed product by a well-known brewer of the Igarashi brand, but it is a great runner-up for the sectional award. Let's drink it again next year!
Tenranzan from Nocchi: ⛰️
I've been wanting to try Igarashi, and I knew Tenranzan existed, but it's the same brewery ‼️ I'm glad it's my first time 😁.
And I'm also happy because it's my first time to try Risshun Asa Shibori 😆.
We also got a lot of popular processed meats from Saitama Prefecture and even some local beer from a collaboration with the restaurant ❗
Thank you so much, Nochi-san 🙇!
It's so fresh and crispy 🎵It's so easy to eat 😋 It's the kind of thing you lose without even realizing it!
The local beer is also great with the sausage 🎵.
The rest of this post will be related to Nocchi-san 😁.
This year's Risshun morning squeeze. This one is delicious! It is easy to drink because of the sweetness and the shwashiness of the raw sake! I look forward to this every year.
I bought it at the new sake festival, but I wonder if they sell it anymore 💦 (I just checked their website and it seems to be available ✨).
Today, I made a puyabase with the atama and kama of the sea bream I made in a salt kettle last night, and also simmered it with sake instead of white wine to make a brown rice and super barley risotto 💖In connection with seafood, I put nori tsukudani inside the potato croquette 👍Super pairing already✨Self-praise, right😂‼️
I guess it's more like the balance of Tenranzan-sama is very good 🧐It seems to go with any meal ❣️ I feel amazingly happy 🥰.
As for the croquette, the lingering taste of the slightly sweet nori tsukudani (seaweed tsukudani) as you continue to eat it was quite nice 👍maybe you could add cheese to it too 🧐.
Either way, today was a banquet at Tenranzan 🇯🇵 thank you 🙌
Good evening, Pekho😄!
Risotto, simmered in sake, plus brown rice and super barley✨I'm absolutely sure ‼️ I can't imagine seaweed tsukudani in croquettes, so I'd love to try it 😍Pekho you're awesome for coming up with this recipe 🙌!
Thank you Hina Hana Mama 🩷‼️ brown rice and super barley are healthy? It was a blissful dinner because the sake was perfect today 🤭🤣! I should have prepared dessert too 😱.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby❣️ I didn't show it in my photo, but I used an ochoko that is not for sale outside the gate 😍It's just bliss‼️
Tochigi love gently in the cup: ❤️
