Built to make the food taste better rather than to show off on its own — that is the stated concept behind Umajun, and it drinks exactly that way. Shata Shuzo has been brewing in Hakusan, Ishikawa, near Kanazawa and the Sea of Japan, since 1823, and its Tengumai brand (the name means dancing tengu, after the long-nosed mountain spirits of Japanese folklore) is best known for yamahai, the slow, labor-intensive starter method that builds acidity naturally and gives sake a richer, earthier, more savory frame. Umajun is a junmai built on a yamahai base, brewed from Gohyakumangoku rice milled to 60 percent, and it finishes dry. It is also one of those rare bottles that genuinely gains from gentle warming: try it at room temperature or heated to around 40°C, where the umami spreads out and the texture softens. Chilled works too, but you give up some of the roundness.
