Tedorigawa Kinka "Gold Blossom" Daiginjo Nama Sake 720ml

Review Date: 03/2022

I'm a bit late writing up this selection for week three of "Sake Saturday". As opposed to our previous two selections, this one has a more muted nose with the majority of the scents focused upon cantaloupe. There are light hints of banana and macadamia nut. In the mouth, it starts out on the richer side but, suddenly turns very dry and crisp. For me, it is once again the cantaloupe fruit that comes to the forefront, underscored by green fruits and sugar snap pea. A very interesting choice for the week!

Another successful Sake Saturday; watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew... All the melons! How wonderfully refreshing this sake was, a bit on the drier side those fruit notes are accompanied by none of the sugar, giving their truest, and rawest flavor! The nose was slightly floral, just faint enough to pick it up, but not present enough to be overwhelming. The finish was a wonderful umami, minor saline quality with some soft vegetation -- a real beautiful crisp piece of nori! The "Gold Blossom" Daiginjo Nama is absolutely delicious... Oh, I almost forgot to mention, nama translates to 'raw' this sake is unpasteurized, meaning those flavors its offering are coming in their freshest, and purest form - keep cold, and enjoy quickly!

Notes

The Tedorigawa brewery is renowned for its finesses, despite the local Noto Toji which emphasizes power and richness. Tedorigawa stands apart from its neighbors in the region offering a full flavored style without the density and forward rice-y quality that so many other in Ishikawa are accustomed to offering. The balance between their elegant Kanazawa yeast and their traditional Yamahai style of fermentation results in spectacular balance and complexity while not sacrificing on character. The "Kinka" is one of their most approachable and appealing offerings, a Nama Daiginjo, that offers structure while not being overly assertive. The perfect complement to diverse sushi menu from fatty otoro to bright briny uni.
