Last of the day.
The smooth texture gives way to a gentle sweetness and umami.
It expands smoothly to the back of the mouth, and the aftertaste flows softly.
A drink in Machida after work 🍶🍶🍶🍶.
There was Tianqing, and the three of us had quite a few more.
It had a nice, light, and delicious flavor, as you would expect from Tensei.
The taste is satisfying, with a good balance between the punch that is typical of the original sake and the powerful flavor of OMACHI. It would go well with tofu.
Tensei Omachi Junmai Ginjo
Rating 4.4
Rice: Omachi from Okayama Prefecture, Polishing ratio: 50%, Sake meter: +2.0, Alcohol: 16
It expresses the exhilarating flavor of Tensei.
It has a gorgeous aroma unique to Kumamoto No. 9 yeast and a strong flavor characteristic of Omachi.
It is refreshing and not too harsh, slightly soda-like, and can be drunk in a refreshing way. It has a mild and smooth taste. The umami will increase as time goes by.

I got this at Odawara station.
It has a strong taste, and although I like it, I couldn't imagine how it would taste better if I drank it...
I would like to try it when I have a chance to buy it in bottles.
On my way back from a pilgrimage to Mt. Daisen in July, I stopped by Kumazawa Sake Brewery in Chigasaki. The Chigasaki City Museum is located nearby. This sake brewery, with its bakery, restaurant, and other stores, is a busy place.
Now, here is Tensei's summer sake. The silver cap decorated with a rakugo rock attracts me.
It has white malted rice with a sake degree of -14 and an acidity of 3.3. I could roughly imagine what it would taste like from these numbers, but I wondered what it would be like 🤔 Aizan? So I bought it.
Today, I opened the bottle, thinking I had to drink it before it got too cold.
When I put it in my mouth, a nice sourness spreads. I thought it might be too acidic, but the aftertaste is strangely mellow 🥹I imagined it would be a bit sweeter, but it is mellow rather than sweet. You will notice the mellowness as you continue drinking.
Interesting sake 😁.
Good evening Jay & Novi🌇.
I was under the impression that the strong acidity without sweetness was the Edo Kaijo Yamadanishiki, but that was too acidic... 😓 This one is not sweet but mellow. I'm wondering what will happen if I let it sit for a few days 🤔
