The 55th bottle for home drinking in 2024 🍶.
This is Tenka Nishiki from Mie Prefecture, which I received from the hanpukai.
The label on the back of the bottle said it was recommended to be cooled or lukewarm, but I just drank it chilled in the fridge 😂 It was delicious!

Preference ★★★⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎
The rice used is Yamadanishiki from Mie Prefecture
It is fire-aged, but it is so fresh that you might mistake it for a draft sake (⁉️), with a well-balanced array of citrus sweetness and bitterness.
It is delicious ❣️
It's a raw sake, but at 15%, it's not too heavy.
The aroma of muscat and white peach, typical of nama-shu, is accompanied by the scent of junmai jyoshinko, and the aroma of sweet apricot curd is felt later.
Muscat, white peach, joshin-doufu, apricot pudding, lime.
Slightly green bamboo
We had this at a relative's house.
It was fruity and easy to drink, but I was shocked to read on the back of the label that he was hospitalized after finishing brewing...
It was my first time to drink this brand, but I felt like supporting it.
At room temperature.
Mmmm.
Soft texture.
Fruity acidity with a hint of rice.
Slightly rounded astringency.
The smooth mouthfeel of the honjozo is moderate and pleasant.
A calm balance.
It is in good harmony with dried daikon radish simmered with a sprinkle of yuzu pepper.
Degree of liking ☆4/5
not too much
A junmai ginjo of which production is extremely small!
This junmai ginjo uses Mie Prefecture's "MK-1" yeast!
The aroma reminds one of bananas, not too loud and gentle.
The light, refreshing mouthfeel has a sweet, light flavor characteristic of MK-1, a Mie yeast. The pleasant umami of Yamada-Nishiki spreads out. It is unfiltered and hi-ire type, and is very well-balanced.

I drank it for the first time at the Mie Yokkaichi Sake Brewery Fair.
I heard it was a small brewery and there was no brewer.
This is a classic sake!
It tastes so good!
It has a little body, and it's a bit like a green vegetable.
Just the way I like it!
I drank it cold, but the brewery recommends lukewarm.
The aroma is of fresh aromatic wood and shiitake mushrooms.
Good as a food sake
