bouken
Tenryo sake cup after a long time. I bought it at Okuhiroya near Keihan Kayashima Station, the only Tenryo Sake distributor in the Kansai region. I only have a chance to buy Tenryo-bai at tasting sales in department stores, but they don't bring this kind of product.
Okuhiroya's brands include famous brands such as Saku and Hanayuup. The rare ones are Tenryo Sake, Fusashimaya, Seikou, Nagaragawa, Goyuji, and Aizu Ryugasawa. There is also Katano Sakura, which is only available here, probably because of its proximity to the brewery.
The rice is Koshi Ibuki.
It has a heavy, rich, sweet flavor. A little bit gassy, maybe. The end is a bit bitter and spicy. It has been sitting in a liquor store for 6 months, but there is almost no sense of maturity. It tastes better than I expected.
I bought another bottle of sake at Okuhiroya. It is from a small brewery in Saga.
