I was attracted to amayadori by the naming and label. It was one of three prototype patterns created to develop a delicious honjozo sake. This is prototype #1, subtitled "Tenryu" (meaning "heavenly tears"). The meaning seems to describe rain falling even though there are no clouds in the sky and it is clear. What a beautiful word. The specs are special honjozo unfiltered unpasteurized sake. The moment the cork is opened, a sweet fruity aroma spreads. The sake is a shiny pale yellow color, typical of nama sake. In the mouth, it has a soft texture and tastes sweet and fruity with a hint of sourness. It has a mellow sweetness that reminds one of moist fruit, followed immediately by a refreshingly dry aftertaste. The lingering taste also includes bitterness and a slight astringency, giving the wine a sense of depth of flavor. This refreshing aftertaste is probably due to the fact that this is a honjozo. The sweetness and spiciness are harmonized without discomfort, making it a very tasty sake. I interpreted this as a sake that has a unique, delicious Honjozo taste that is different from that of Junmai, rather than a delicious Honjozo sake = a sake like Junmai. We are very much looking forward to the prototypes of the other two patterns and the finished version that will appear in the future. *The glass in the image is filled with water.
