Kyoto Takashimaya Sake Festival 10
The booth of Onogawa Sake Brewery of Onogawa Tenka, Akita Prefecture.
This time, the Sake Capital group had three breweries here, and their booths were clustered close together.
◉Tenka Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu Gohyakumangoku (Uguisu label)
Aged in cold storage for two years, this sake is made from Gohyakumangoku rice. It has a mellow lees flavor.
◉Tenka Tokubetsu Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu Dry Taste Akita-Komachi (flame label)
Made from Akita-Komachi. It has a dry taste that directly stimulates the tongue.
I personally have yet to find an Onogawa that I like more than the standard Heart Label and Kamenoo's Kame Label.
It is my first time to meet you, Mr. Onogawa Tenka.
I have high expectations for this Akita brewery, not only because it is from Akita, but also because of its fashionable label!
The aroma and taste are both relatively mild.
I thought it would be more flamboyant since it is made from Akita Sake Komachi, but it has an atmosphere somewhere between modern and classic with a softly spreading umami flavor.
It has too little character as it is now, so let's let it sit for a while.
An ace in the hole-traveling Dainogawa.
First of all, the aroma is good. Sweet rice sweetness with a touch of freshness.
On the tip of the tongue, a sense of sweetness? A pleasant bitterness on the side of the tongue. Not too clean, not too rich, just the right amount of salt 🙆🙆.
Purchased at a local liquor store. I guess it was something I happened to see on YouTube yesterday, and I was potentially curious.
The taste is close to my taste, I like the aroma, the balance of sweetness and bitterness, etc.
I like Akita sake.
One heat.
Starts off with a banana-like smell of alcohol, which I like!
It tastes cued and thick. Sourness and a bit of umami? The impression of sweetness after the sourness and a bit of umami is surprisingly moderate.
A bottle that is worth reading.
