Personally, I love Tokusenmai itself, but I prefer Jungin to Tenbi's standard Tokusenmai... but I like the dry dry version of Dry Ten just as much as Jungin. I was wondering if this new Amami was more like the standard Tokujun or the dry version, but I had no choice but to try it anyway, so I bought it.
The aroma is very mild on the nose, but when you taste it, it smells like grapes...or wine, as is typical of Tenbi.
The mouthfeel is slightly sour. It's not a bit squishy, but it's a different feeling from wine, which makes this sake something more than just a wine-like liquor.
The sweetness is quite moderate and dry, so of course it goes well with light Western or light Chinese food.
It can also be drunk on its own. The good taste, modern aroma, and lightness of alcohol make it easy to drink too much.
It is also important to note that although it becomes a bit pungent after a few days, it can be drunk for about 10 days.
I like Tenbi after all. I especially like the dry sake. It was a great product that made me want to drink it again!
