I opened a bottle of "Tenju Daiginjo" from Akita's Tenju Shuzo, which was given to me as a congratulatory gift and which I am receiving for the first time.
It has a gorgeous aroma and a rich flavor that spreads in the mouth. It has a strong flavor that will not fall apart even when served with Chinese food, not to mention the delicious autumnal flavors of the season.
The alcohol content is high at 17%, so this is a bottle to enjoy slowly on a long autumn evening. Delicious ‼️
I was going through the Chokaizan hiyaoroshi when I found a bottle of Tenju hiyaoroshi at the store. Of course I would drink it.
That was the third meeting I remember.
It is labeled as a "very dry" sake of +10 degrees blended with three types of junmai sake, but it had a soft mouthfeel and a soft umami taste ^_^.
Immediately after opening the bottle, I enjoyed it cold, but then I thought, "What if I warm it up to enhance the umami?" I tried it warmed up and it was delicious with more sweetness and sharpness.
The price of sake has gone up, but you can find a lot of beautiful sake for less than 2,000 yen for a bottle!
In the cold storage, we had an all-you-can-drink selection of 32 different kinds on this day!
I'm not familiar with this labeled sake.
Let's try it!
I have had Tenju at Akita Shumaru and Kushiro Sakura, but this Jungin was new to me!
It was a solid sake 🍶.

Never drank before, my first time drinking.
The fellow I went with (a junior) was also very knowledgeable and suggested that I should try something I've never had before. 😆 and push
I guess it's a dry type?
I can feel a little more sourness than the previous one.
I think it's a refreshing, light type.
I didn't know that Chokaisan is also made by Tenju Shuzo 🤨.
Fried horse mackerel, thick and tasty 😋!
