I often drink Tamanomitsu, but where did the sake name come from? I was curious and looked at the website...
The beautiful sake name "Tamanomitsu" was given to the brewery by its founder, Nakaya Rokuzaemon, a devotee of the Kumano Hayatama-taisha shrine. The sake was given the precious name "Tamano Hikari" (meaning "sake with shining balls") in the hope that the spirits of the main deities, Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, would be reflected, or "shine," reflecting the light of their spirits. In Japan, it is rare to receive the name of sake from the priest of a shrine.
The sake offered as omizake is inseparable from the shrine. Tama" means "shining spirit. It is a very good name that evokes the spirit of shining sake," said Akira Ueno, chief priest of Kumano Hayatama-taisha Shrine.
We are grateful for the invisible power that transcends human knowledge in brewing sake with human hands. This awe of nature is also reflected in the sake's name.
The sake is named after the sake brewer.
It is like an old wine. They want it to be in contact with the air. It was served in a wine glass.

I wonder if it's all Chinese characters and marketing for Chinese people. ⁉︎ It's slightly sweet and tasty, though.
A Dubroque-style drink that has been sitting in the refrigerator for six months. It has 19% alcohol by volume and is quite spicy. It is said that if you wait a little longer, it will get sweeter. There are 5 more bottles in the fridge.
I was lured to buy it by the handwritten-style label, which is just rolled up and fastened with cellophane tape. If you peel off the label, you will find a normal label underneath.
The mother sake is Gin no Sei, the rice is polished to 50% 50%, and the alcohol content is 16.5 degrees.
At Tempura no Tsunahachi. I went there for the wild vegetable tempura, but perhaps because it was the end of the season, I didn't smell much of it. Too bad.
This is Shiraga with the TSUNAHACHI label. Easy to drink.
