Sourness + low alcohol makes it highly drinkable. The sweetness is moderate and it seems to be good as a food wine.

While fruity, Tenmei is also astringent. It has a light, beautiful sweetness that is typical of Tenmei, but the mouthfeel makes you think it has a strong astringency and acidity. The aftertaste has a deep sweetness that may be derived from Yamadanishiki. There is a sense of alcohol and a slight heaviness. It is better to drink it at room temperature rather than chilled to reduce the stinginess. The rice used is 25% Yamadanishiki from Aizu, 75% Comet from Hokkaido, and Association 1001 yeast.

This is a twice-fired, honjozo sake. It is a gorgeous sake with a good fruit aroma and sweetness, although there is a slight miscellaneous taste derived from brewing alcohol. Very tasty.

Really easy to drink!
Too light when opened, a little lackluster for me personally, but super tasty on the second day!

It has a pear-like aroma, but it was more banana-like 🍌 It has a robust taste with a slightly spicy (bitter) aftertaste, and goes well with food 💕.

It was a peach, just as it should be! It was a peach!

The first impression is of ripe pears and a full rice flavor. The aftertaste has a savory bitterness and moderate spiciness, with a smooth throat and a clean aftertaste.
This sake is brewed with Yamadanishiki from Aizu Sakashita and Comet from Uryu in Hokkaido.
Hokkaido Amaryu is a very peaceful rural area...
It's very similar to Aizu Sakashita in terms of soil and environment, and it's very special to drink this sake while thinking of Tenmei's hometown ✨.
This is also delicious.
My favorite level (self-assessment)

I wanted to refresh myself today, so here it is! Sarasara Junmai Nama Sake! I'm happy to be able to drink nama-sake at this time of year. This Sarasara Junmai is rare 😊!
The aroma is like melon, pear and strawberry. It has a moderate aroma. When you drink it, it has a moderate sweetness, followed by a pleasant umami, then an apple-like acidity, and finally a smooth finish! It has a summery sake character, but also has a good amount of umami 😄It has a light balance even though it is a nama-shu. It has a light and well-balanced flavor even though it is a nama-shu. It feels like you are drinking a high quality sake.
I would like to eat cheese with this. I have a cheese mouth, so I had the cream cheese with bonito soup. It goes very well with anything 😄 This sake goes well with anything!

ヒロ
Good evening, Mr. Sashu😄
I didn't know Tenmei had such a label 😳
It's very rare to have a raw sake after fire-working 🤔.
I'd like to try some 🤗

さしゅー
Hiro-san Good evening 😄I also knew the usual fire-aged Sarasara Fireworks label, but this was the first time for me! I bought a bottle of nama-shu because I was so curious. It's very rare to have nama-sake after hi-ire 😊 It tasted good too!

I'm taking tomorrow off so I'll be in holiday mode 🤩 ahead of the rest of the week...I'm already in a ruffled mood 😆.
The collaboration between the beautiful and smooth tasting Tenmei and the crisp and dry Machida Shuzo ✨...what will it taste like?
I'm curious to see how it will taste...even before opening the bottle: ☺️
When we opened the bottle...hmmm! Is this Jikin? The aroma is like a ginjo aroma that makes you grin 🥰.
The balance of sweetness and umami is quite close to Tenmei, making it an easy-to-drink mid-meal sake 🤔.
The aftertaste has a bit of bitterness that I don't mind, rather than the dryness that is typical of Machida sake breweries... but it's a little different from what I was hoping for, as there's almost no schwarziness 😅.
Well, personally...I think I prefer the Tenmei Sarasara Junmai I drank before...but I'm looking forward to the taste change from tomorrow onwards 😆.
ps. where is the dry pichi feeling of Machida brewery 😭❓❓
Day 2: 🗒️
Increased flavor⤴️ and quite a good balance🙆
I mean...it lost a lot of Machida-ness and became almost like Tenmei😅.
Hmmm... 🤔I might not buy it next time 😓.

The first Tenmei🍶. With Koshien.
Slightly melon-like sweetness and acidity. The aroma is typical Japanese sake with a hint of rice. Too good!
This is a great taste for less than 2,000 yen!
This makes me want to repeat Tenmei!

Nice aroma like melon and peach🍈🍑.
On the palate, strawberry and sweet yogurt notes open up, and these combine with the sweetness of the rice, which disappears nicely with a little acidity☺️🥰.
Perfect for this summer🎐☀️You can drink as much as you want🎆✨
