Slightly hard, unpasteurized sake. It has a bitter taste and goes well with spring wild vegetables. We enjoyed it with soaked rape blossoms, tempura of cod sprouts, and wakatake (bamboo shoots).
Tenju Junmai Ginjo, with a sweet but not persistent aftertaste, can be used as a food sake. It is recommended for carpaccio with fruit, gentle simmered dishes, sake beginners, and those who are not very strong drinkers.
This is another special junmai sake for spring.
Fresh and sweet with acidity.
Rice polishing ratio: 65 %.
Rice :Ginsan
Alcohol percentage: 14 %.
Yeast used : K1401
Sake meter degree: 1
Acidity: 1.7
I imagined it to be somewhat fruity because of its Akita name and appearance, but it is not so. It is drier than I expected, and the sourness comes through the nose, but the flavor through the nose is refreshing and delicious!
Scoring: ☆☆☆☆
Tenju no Umakuchi Junmai❣️
This junmai sake is perfect for lukewarm heating🎶.
This 70% polished rice junmai sake costs just under 2,500 yen per square bottle, but the secret behind its low price is that it is made from common rice, not specified rice.
The use of marigold agricultural university flower yeast as the yeast adds a subtle flair to this humble junmai sake 😊.
A bit of a surprise when I poured it into my glass 👀.
Quite a deep yellow 💛.
Is it an aged sake? I thought it was an aged sake😅.
The aroma is a bit greenish, banana-like and a hint of rice 🌾😄.
(Hey, where's the marigolds? 🌼) lol.
In the mouth, you can feel a mild, mild rice sweetness, followed by bitterness and a robust umami ❣️
Then acidity and astringency are added in a nice salty 👍.
The acidity spreads gradually and gives it a nice balance 😋.
The spiciness that comes at the end is just right and the balance of the five tastes is very good 🎶.
Third one, who can GET the big money this year ✊.
I'm in 8th place and my partner is in 7th ‼️
Well, lottery? Lotto?
What should I earn money with 😁😁😁😁😁
Good evening, T.KISO 😃.
I'm going to have even more luck after drinking Tenju! Please go buy some soon ‼️ and...since we don't even have any 🥲 if you win, please give me all of it 🙏🤣.

Iwate-Akita-Yamagata-Yuri Kogen Railway Trip🚃Day 3
The purpose of this trip, take the Yuri Kogen Railway to the last stop, Yajima Station 🚃 with breakfast at Tagabe Shokudo, a diner just a 1-minute walk from the station.
Sweet and gentle on the palate. ☺️ Aftertaste spicy and sharp, too. Loose. Daily sake. Pair it with a plate of sweetly seasoned barbecued meat to increase the spiciness. Both ramen and meat udon are delicious 😆I wish there was one in my neighborhood 👍

Natsuko yeast sake!
I left my fall sake unopened for a long time, but it remained easy to drink with a clean gentle umami flavor.
I think the previous Nadeko sake I had was a bit more lactic acidic, but this one was subtle, and I personally prefer this one!
There aren't many sakes that go perfectly with the Japanese-leaning, miscellaneous foods that we eat in our daily lives, so this one may be very rare and precious!
