We had Sakura-ame, a raw sake from Tenyumi. This sake was brewed by Shinri, the former toji of Tohoku Izumi. The other sakes in the Tenyumi series were also delicious, so we have high expectations for this one.
The aroma was refreshingly fruity with a sourness, but when we drank it, we found it to be quite sticky and sweet. There is a slight sourness, and I think it has a kind of rich muscat flavor.
It would be interesting to drink this type of sake with gratin or other white sauces. It has a strong umami flavor, so I feel it will not be defeated by the food.
Opened March 3, 2024
Purchased at Muramatsu Sake Sho, Shinbashi
Sweet, mellow ☺️, faint milkiness 🐮.
Slightly tingling on the tongue👅.
Thickness like peach nectar 🍑Tartness like grapes... 🍇.
I just drink this alone at night 🍶.
It is suitable for a glass of wine!
This is the first sake.
It was purchased at Sake Maeda near Kamishinjo Station.
They mainly deal in craft beer and spirits, but they also sell sake such as Toyonobai, Katano Sakura, Higashi-no-Fuku, and others.
I think Tenyumi is the only one in Kansai.
I don't know what it is, but it is brewed by a method called malolactic fermentation.
I found out that it is a technique developed by Yamagata Prefecture, and it seems to produce a wine-like aroma.
The rice seems to be Dewa Sanbai, but some liquor stores' websites say that the koji rice is Aizan and the kake rice is Dewa Sanbai.
The rest is not stated, but it is said to be a pure sake.
It is fruity and has a green apple-like nuance. It is sweet but refreshing and easy to drink. It also has a sweet and sour taste like wine yeast sake.
It also has a little bit of a cotton candy-like taste.
When the temperature rises, you can taste the pungency.
Microbubbles are more noticeable when the temperature rises.
It tasted good when I opened it, but it changed a lot after opening.... Sweetness is decreasing 😥.
This Sake is a sweet and clean tasting daiginjo. The mouth feel is medium and soft. There is a fruity flavor of peach and strawberry. The finish has a little bit of dryness but is sweet and long for me. This won IWC Silver in 2022.
Hello Saru808🐒😃
I think you write "four dragons" and read it as "tetsu".
I'm curious about this one and would like to drink it someday 🍶.

home brewed kigawaya
Purchased on a trip to Shonai, Yamagata️⭕️
Sake degree -15 indicated at the store.
It definitely has a strong sweetness, but it also has acidity and bitterness, so it seems to be well balanced. 🙆♀️
It goes better with fried breast meat than negitoro.
Yamagata's sake is delicious (*´~*)ŧ'"ŧ'"ŧ'"
Tenyumi means "rainbow after rain," and they collaborated with Tohoku University of Art & Design on the label design. The toji (master brewer) is Mr. Jin Masashi, who has won the gold medal at the National New Sake Competition for 10 consecutive years. I had tasted Suiuyu before and enjoyed it so much that I bought this one to try as well.
Suiu was a completely fruity and sweet sake, but this is a Yamahai sake with a strong rice flavor. It tastes like rice and melon. It is not sweet, but umami, and goes well with strong-flavored dishes. The aftertaste is quite clean and unctuous.
Although I prefer floral and fruity sake, I could really feel the deliciousness of this kind of sake with a rice flavor. The enjoyment of pairing it with food may be profound. It went well with curry and kushikatsu. Is it versatile? Delicious both warmed and cold sake.
