もよもよ
The well-known strong style Tengu Mai. This is a super dry summer sake. It gives the impression of having a strong umami axis, but is it?
When you drink it, you can still taste the umami and sweetness of the rice. However, there is also a slight melon-like fruity flavor, and a strong graininess, making it a very drinkable sake. It is said to be dry, so the sugar content is probably low, and there is a clean aftertaste.
I think it would go well with strong flavored soy sauce based simmered dishes or yakitori with sauce. It may have more umami if it is kept at room temperature.
