Mukyu Tenon生酛純米吟醸 改良雄町
わらびもち
We tried the more expensive Mutenyu Tenshu at a soba (buckwheat noodle) restaurant in Matsue, where we enjoyed the regular Tenshu warmed up. When the bottle was opened, there was no gaseous sensation and the aroma was subdued. When you drink it in the mouth, it has a mild sweetness, which is followed by a robust umami, but with a clean and pleasant bitter aftertaste.
I thought it would be interesting to warm it up, so I tried it, and the taste and texture mellowed out, and it went well with simmered fish, and I drank it vigorously.
It has a wide range of temperatures that can be enjoyed, and is generally a mild food sake, but the umami is very clear, so it left a strong impression on me.
