Honey Tenmei Karoyaka Kijoshu Nama
The aroma is full of sourness like a gorgeous yogurt.
The first sip is sweet and sour, refreshing, and light with a hint of honey. After that, the flavor expands at once, and then it quickly fades away.
It is really delicious!
Polishing ratio 50%, 15% alc.
The label says it has a sense of maturity and balance, a unique acidity, and a transparency that is typical of Tenmei. The unique acidity is convincing. The sweetness on the palate is quickly replaced by sourness. Stimulates the appetite.
Tenmei Sangyo, also purchased at a liquor store in Aizu Sakashita-cho.
How many bottles of Tenmei did you buy? I think lol.
This one has a sake degree of +5 on the specs.
I like sweet sake, but it is still spicy! The umami and the acidity at the end are impressive. It has a strong acidity, which I like a lot.
I read the beautiful text on the label. I was strongly impressed by it and drank it with all my heart!
Tenmei, Tenmei, Tenmei, and three bottles in one day is giving too many seals lol.
Also purchased in Aizu Sakashita-cho.
Continuing on with Tenmei and Aki-agari.
It had an apple-like sourness and a more refined taste.
It also has a nice aroma that is typical of nama-zake, and I like it.
I am getting addicted to Tenmei.
On the way back from a mountain climbing trip to Fukushima with a friend, my friend purchased this sake at a liquor store in Aizu Sakashita-cho!
While many obviously good sake were chilling in the fridge, my friend, a challenger, dared to buy the fire-brewed one on the shelf.
We returned to our hometown and started the launch of the climb!
He opened a bottle of this Tenmei and I had a sip, and what a complex taste it had!
I sometimes see the word "complex" used to describe the taste of sake, and this was the kind of sake that I thought must be complex.
When I put it in my mouth, there was no strong spiciness or sweetness, and while it went in easily, the flavor changed in my mouth. Moreover, the changed taste changed even more. It was delicious! What is the meaning of this? I couldn't help but say, "It's so good!
For someone like me, who used to actively choose and drink nama-sake, this was a very new discovery, and it made me want to try even more of the various Tenmei!
As the name suggests, it is smooth, low-alcohol, light and easy to drink. Slightly sour and melon-like sweetness; juiciness increases on the second day. It is difficult to match, but it is good with summer oranges.

I'll have some sweetness after the dry ones 😋.
The taste of rice and sweetness 🌾.
The sweetness of the rice is moist and calm, which is typical of Tenmei 😚.
Perhaps it was the aging of the hiyaoroshi sake, but the unique sweetness had a deeper, more atmospheric flavor 🤗.
