Mukai Tenshitsu Ten'un - Junmai Ginjo Kairai-Omachi R2BY
Rated 4.4
Rice: Okuidumo improved Omachi, Alcohol: 13.6°, Polishing ratio: 60
Sanin Ginjo + 3-day koji with sticky haze + additive-free raw yeast + 60% Modified Omachi, stored in tanks for 2 fires, low al.
The 3-day koji made by the bunch planting method is used, which gives it a slightly higher alcohol content and more umami flavor than in previous years. The production period is also from January to February, which is a good unrefined process. Ten-un is intended to emphasize the lingering, latent aroma and after-flavor that accumulates in the body with repeated sipping, rather than the strength of the flavor at the moment. Sweet aroma of koji, esthery, lactic acid, calpis, warm aroma, banana aroma after time. Soft and smooth on the palate. Warm. The nuance of water gives way to the umami of rice and koji. It has a firm umami, and the acidity creates a contour, giving it a sense of fullness. It is more mellow than usual.
(It has sweetness, umami, and a slightly Shaoxing-like flavor.
We tried the more expensive Mutenyu Tenshu at a soba (buckwheat noodle) restaurant in Matsue, where we enjoyed the regular Tenshu warmed up. When the bottle was opened, there was no gaseous sensation and the aroma was subdued. When you drink it in the mouth, it has a mild sweetness, which is followed by a robust umami, but with a clean and pleasant bitter aftertaste.
I thought it would be interesting to warm it up, so I tried it, and the taste and texture mellowed out, and it went well with simmered fish, and I drank it vigorously.
It has a wide range of temperatures that can be enjoyed, and is generally a mild food sake, but the umami is very clear, so it left a strong impression on me.
This is the first time for me to try the Muteki series 💖 The aroma is not so noticeable, but the taste is light and lactic.
The aroma is not so noticeable, but it is lactic acid-like, and while the mouthfeel is light, the umami and bitterness come gradually afterwards, giving a strange sensation of being cut 🎶.
Although the alcohol content is low at 13%, the taste that comes after makes you feel like you are drinking sake 🍶.
A soft and gentle bottle that will accompany you at any temperature from room temperature to lukewarm 🍶☺️
As the Buddhist scripture says, "If the heavens are calm, you will never be in need", we were filled with the calm blessings of the heavens 🥹.

Speaking of Shimane, I am Tenju.

It leaves a beautiful aftertaste. I guess this is what they call a lingering aftertaste.
