This is the first time for Tenbi since I drank the spring Usu-Nigori. It seems to be the first winter nigori for Tenbi. I have a bad habit of only drinking nigori instead of the standard one... I think I'll buy the standard one next time.
It has a moderate koji aroma. I've been drinking a lot of sake with no aroma for a while now, so the aroma alone was quite enjoyable. And above all, this aroma adds depth to the taste.
It has a slightly gassy and fresh mouthfeel, and you can really enjoy the new sake flavor. It has a silky smooth texture, a good balance of umami, sweetness, and acidity, and no peculiarities, so you can drink as much as you want.
The alcohol content of 15 degrees is also a perfect setting, and overall it is somewhat light, but not scummy.
Even if you are not satisfied with a sake that has no peculiarities, you can drink it with peace of mind because the aroma and nigori add thickness and drinkability.
This is a masterpiece that I have a feeling will become a winter classic along with Senkou Yukidaruma.
