bouken
This is the first sake.
It was purchased at Sake Maeda near Kamishinjo Station.
They mainly deal in craft beer and spirits, but they also sell sake such as Toyonobai, Katano Sakura, Higashi-no-Fuku, and others.
I think Tenyumi is the only one in Kansai.
I don't know what it is, but it is brewed by a method called malolactic fermentation.
I found out that it is a technique developed by Yamagata Prefecture, and it seems to produce a wine-like aroma.
The rice seems to be Dewa Sanbai, but some liquor stores' websites say that the koji rice is Aizan and the kake rice is Dewa Sanbai.
The rest is not stated, but it is said to be a pure sake.
It is fruity and has a green apple-like nuance. It is sweet but refreshing and easy to drink. It also has a sweet and sour taste like wine yeast sake.
It also has a little bit of a cotton candy-like taste.
When the temperature rises, you can taste the pungency.
Microbubbles are more noticeable when the temperature rises.
It tasted good when I opened it, but it changed a lot after opening.... Sweetness is decreasing 😥.
