Tenmei era (1781.4.2-1789.1.25)
Akebono (lake monster said to be one of the most wicked and powerful fish in Japan)
The label is fancy and nice. The taste is also very ricey. The first 2025 new sake brewed with very early rice.
The brewery's name "Akebono" comes from the passage "Haru wa Akebono" in "The Pillow Book" and "Tenmei" was chosen as a synonym for the brand name!
Akebono has a history of three generations of female brewers, which is rare for a sake brewery.
Since 2011, the sixth generation, Koichi Suzuki (male brewer) has led the brewery, which includes many female staff members, to create a vibrant brewery.
This is my first Tenmei, but I was attracted by the label! I was going to buy it when I saw the No. Zero, but I missed the timing, so I bought the No. 1!
This sake is made from Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku ✨.
The aroma is sweet fruity, melon, banana, with a hint of citrus 🤔.
I can really feel some gas. The mouthfeel is beautiful. Modest sweetness, beautiful umami, acidity that builds up, and a little sharpness.
There is a little lees and it is stirred. The flavor increases and the juiciness of the umami is felt, but the acidity is still high and sharp, so the wine is refreshing.
On the third day, the gas is gone, the juiciness remains the same, and the acidity becomes milder and easier to drink 🥰.
Good morning, ichiro18 😃!
Unexpectedly, congratulations on your first Tenmei ㊗️ 🎉 We have only had the fourth in this series 😅 but I'd like to attack it slowly 😅....
Tenmei, HOMURA, Yamahai yeast, special junmai, twice-hiked
It tastes just fine chilled, but it is best lukewarm.
Slightly spicy with a lingering acidity that goes well with oden
Screw stopper type
My favorite liquor store had in stock a kijo-zake brewed with "Tenmei" Kame-no-o, so I immediately bought it. It tasted like a new light nigori sake that was smooth, sweet, delicious, and fizzy with a hint of orikomi.
The aroma was sweet like pineapple or muscat, and the sake was enjoyable in both aroma and taste, so the saké went on and on.
It is a good sake to drink as a dessert after warmed sake.
The aroma is subdued 🍶.
The mouthfeel is sweet and personally low in alcohol 🍶.
The mouthfeel was so smooth that it disappeared from the top of the bottle 😚.
Good morning, Mr. Muro 🌞Tenmei, this is the one I lifted up to bring you but gave up when I remembered my fridge was flat 😭I got the second Hirotogawa instead 😆 I'm not sure I can hold out for a year 🤣.
Good evening, Nao888!
Even if you can't get the Tenmei, if you can get the second Hirotogawa, all is well 😁👌👌.
Now all you have to do is persevere ‼️ It's really good, so please hang in there 🤤(I'm drooling just thinking about it)
