To put it simply
A light, dry sake with umami.
I would say it is a light, dry sake with a great umami flavor.
It is good as a food sake!

Tenryo, which I ordered at a meal on my trip. It was a freshly brewed and stored Honjozo brewed with Hidahomare. I usually don't drink Hidahomare, Honjozo, or Nama-Seizou, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to drink it.
The color was crystal with a slight yellow tinge. The aroma is quite mild, with mineral and earthy notes.
When you drink it, it has a slightly fruity overtone. Next comes a sense of minerality and a hint of sweetness. There is also a slight white ball-like feeling.
The acidity is smart and not too assertive.
Bitterness appears a little at the end. The lingering aftertaste is pale and slowly fades away with the bitterness.
As is typical of honjozo, it has the sake-like flavor that is generally imagined by those who do not normally drink sake, but it is a food sake with a fruity character that is typical of freshly stored sake. It's meant to be served at ryokans, as it goes perfectly with fish, vegetables, and other Japanese dishes! I've been drinking a lot of sake that can be drunk on its own, so I'm very satisfied with my first "food sake" in a long time!
It may not be a hit with those who only accept easy-to-understand sake, but for those who like dry sake, or those who want to enjoy a marriage between sake and food, or to complement food, this is a naturally delicious sake.
