The first new sake, "Oragami-nama-nama-shu" directly brewed with "Yume-no-Ka" from Aizu, Japan. It is a limited edition sake for Otokoyama Shuzo and its distributors.
It has a refreshing mouthfeel and melon-like aroma. The sweetness is well balanced by the umami and acidity of the new orikara sake.
I got it because of its good reputation, but I don't like the name "Otoko" in the name. Is it unexpected, or does it go against the soft and gentle feeling of the label?
Come to think of it, there is also "Nantai-yama" (Mt. Nantai). Is it also attached to a mountain? It is one of the 100 most famous mountains in Japan. I wonder if men are always tempted to put it on mountains...
Hi @nabe! It was juicy, refreshing and delicious! I envy you for your good fortune, an interesting sake brewery that has been revived from an old, dormant brewery!
I was attracted by the sight of Aizu in winter and reached for it! Lovely!

A delicious sake that can be served at room temperature, cold, or warmed up.
It's been very cold here recently, and I've been drinking it warmed up every day since it was awarded the highest gold medal 🥇 in the 2021 National Warmed Sake Contest.
It has a gorgeous, fluffy aroma of yume no kou. It's easy to drink, and even though I'm a novice at heating sake, I can easily finish a cup. It's good for warming you up☺️.
