Tenge-Nishiki Junmai-Ginjo Nama-Nara Sake
This is the first Tenga-Nishiki, a connection with yesterday's "Shikishima".
It was recommended by an acquaintance who is the owner of a sushi restaurant in Mie Prefecture, so I happened to find it at a liquor store and brought it home.
I brought it home with me by chance.
When the bottle was opened, there was a short gas sound.
The aroma is mild and not much when it is served in the refrigerator.
When chilled, a fresh, clean acidity that is not too sour, just tightens just right on the tongue. It is citrusy (lime) like.
At first, I thought the clear and light feeling with only beautiful acidity was not enough, but as the temperature rises a little, I can taste a slight umami after swallowing, and the acidity and umami are the best match.
There is a sweet richness before a slight spiciness in the aftertaste, and it is refreshing yet slightly delicious.
This sake is made with care and attention to detail, and even though it is not spectacular, it is still a wonderful sake.
The brewery's toji, Seijiro Hane, who is of my generation, was born in Nara and grew up in Suita, Osaka, and is a former system engineer who graduated from Kyoto University.
