My favorite local sake, Tenranzan. Although I now live in a neighboring city, I actually look forward to receiving DMs at home from my address book when I previously bought pre-order items, and I like this sake so much that I go all the way to the brewery to buy it instead of mail order.
While I went to buy the Jungin and the Autumn Limited, I also grabbed the Junmai Naokumi because it was a masterpiece when I drank it before.
The aroma of alcohol and sour fruitiness is mild and pleasant. I could also smell a slight grain nuance.
When you include it, it has more body than I expected. There is a slight acidity like unripe plums, but it is clearly more umami than sweetness, and these seem to contribute to the ease of drinking and understanding.
It has a gusto to it, but as the days go by, it mellows out. It is a sake that is easy to drink without losing its characteristics, so it is best not to judge it by its first day.
I am looking forward to the active nigori (nigori rice wine) that will be released in November or December!
