It has been a long time since I have had Tenranzan. This is a local sake, but it has been quite a while since I have had one, except for some special sake. I drank this purple labeled Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Nama Sake Naokumi when it was released at the time the Kura Matsuri was cancelled due to the Corona disaster, with gold lettering. This time it is white. I was curious if the taste was the same or different, so I bought it immediately!
It has a tropical and gorgeous pineapple aroma. But it is not excessive.
When I tried it, I found that I don't dislike the pineapple flavor, but I didn't dislike it at all! The reason is that I'm just not good at spicy types with this aroma, and this one is not like that at all. You would think it would be full of energy when it is directly pumped, but it is not that much, and is rather moist and elegant.
It also has less bitterness at the end than the standard items, which is not unlike Igarashi or Tenranzan, but the smoothness is just right for late summer when the heat is still lingering.
It was a gorgeous, moist gem with a taste similar to that of the previous Kinmochi! All of Tenranzan's directly pumped sake is delicious!
