Umai, rustic sweetness, coarsely filtered dark cloudy!
Doburoku-like.
Fruity green, muscat-like aroma in the mouth.
There is a sour sourness, but it is well balanced with the dark flavor.
I like it! I want to drink it with a big gulp.
Purchased at Ikebukuro Seibu Sake Sho Yamada
Pineapple feeling. Sweet and sour, light. 12°.
Like a sludgy cold amazake.
Delicious with grilled beef with sauce of kotteri ichibo, scallops and roasted chestnuts.
It was delicious with grilled meat with sauce of kotteri ichibo, scallops and roasted chestnuts.
It is a sludgy but strong sake!
It is an easy to drink sake with just the right amount of acidity. Since it is seasonal
I want to drink it every year.
Quite melon Quite sweet but refreshing as per the sake level of -41 Lactobacillus flavor I like the taste of lactobacillus drink No gassy feeling No problem opening the bottle at all
This is the first time I've seen a sake that says "left at room temperature.
This is another sake from the Okura family, which often makes strange sake 🍶.
The first aroma is sweet like warmed sweet sake.
When you take a sip, it has a gentle amazake-like sweetness and umami, followed by a good acidity that finishes off the taste.
It is quite sharp and delicious 🍶.
The sake goes down my throat smoothly, feeling slightly carbonated. Before you know it, the sake cup is being brought to your mouth again. It is an endless easy-drinking nigori sake.
We walked around Nara during the consecutive holidays in May.
At the end of the tour, I went to an izakaya (Japanese-style bar) where I could drink sake from all the breweries in Nara and liked it,
I went home and had a relaxing drink at home.
I had only known about Nara's sake from Kaze no Mori, so I was very happy to meet new people in my hometown.
Okura's 20-year-old Yamahai Honjozo Kinzitsu, brewed in 2003, is being released as a product, which is a good thing because it is sharp among the above-average, characterless sake of today (laughs).
It's not for everyone, but I want everyone to know that there is such a sake with roundness, depth and diversity of flavor.
I thought it might be muddy, but I was surprised to see a golden color 🫢.
The aroma smelled savory like bekko (same smell as the crunchy fries at Saizeria lol) and the taste, what a surprise, tasted like caramel!
You can feel the alcohol strongly in your mouth, but when you drink it, there is caramel in the back. It was interesting because it had the same flavor as the unsweetened bitter caramel at the bottom of a fancy pudding 😳😳.
I can't really think of what it would go with, it's like the drink alone is so drinkable and satisfying 😦.
If you ask me if I would have a repeat, hmmm....
A very sour, muddy sake with moromi.
In other words, a sour doburoku.
I managed to finish it by comparing it with a sweet sake.
It is quite a special sake.

Shin-Osaka Daytime Drinking Bar "Sake Yashima
Today, Okura Honke Fair was being held at Yashima-san, so we dared to compare three kinds of sake.
The first one. Kinzumi Junmai Usu Nigori (light nigori). The first one on the left.
It is an easy-drinking, slightly sweet muddy sake. In other words, right in my middle.
Very tasty.
If you want to drink it without any accompaniments, this is the one.

I found a bottle of Okura's "Kinzumi" and bought it 😄🙏🙏.
Before opening it, I looked at the label on the back and saw "Polishing ratio 70%",
Expecting a tasty type of sake from low milling 😤, I was caught off guard and opened the bottle with one hand 😜.
The moment I removed the outer lid, the inner lid popped off and I was surprised 😂.
I'm sorry, I was careless 😤. I was careless 😗.
Wow!
It's a low-pasteurized beer, but designed to be drunk mildly with a fizzy sensation.
I wonder if it is...?
The technique to make even the miscellaneous tastes sweet and drinkable is wonderful 😄Okura is doing a good job 😙.
Delicious 😊.
