Tenzan Junmai Genshu "Mount Tenzan"

The nose on this supremely packaged sake is an immense collection of salted nuts, oatmeal, sourdough, grilled banana, wood chips, warm milk, and earthy aromas. Bingo! Say hello to one hell of a sake that we sold starting day one at True Sake, but was gone for quite some time because of distribution issues. It’s back and better than ever, and if Beau-san made “Staff Picks”, his name would be all over this Junmai Genshu with an 18% ABV. Rich, full-bodied, round, smooth, solid, and with old school Junmai sake confidence, this brew drinks you as much as you drink it! There is a ton of umami, with a tannin-like dryness, and uplifting astringency that makes the fluid drink velvety and balanced. Look for caramel, pie crust, King's Hawaiian™ sweet rolls, nougat, peanut, chocolate rice, soy sauce, sweet potato, and banana flavors that roll across the palate. For this price you could buy a Daiginjo, but why? When you can have this "flavor-and-feeling" bomb that is balanced with luscious elegance in a glass. WORD: True Junmai WINE: Huge Reds/Fat Whites BEER: Stouts/Belgians FOODS: You name it, the kitchen sink, the bigger the better.
