Tengumai UMAGIN
My favorite Junmai Ginjo “TENGUMAI UMAGIN”. Actually, this Junmai Ginjo is NOT fancy Ginjo type at all. Many people may not understand this strong point right away if you taste it. However, this simple smoothness and gentle rice flavor Umami is enjoyable forever with all type of dishes!
I really wish I could find the places more which serve this UMAGIN!
So far, only one place serves this sake in New York!!
