This Yamano Kami is said to be made with yeast from the flowers of the sasa lilies found in the sacred grounds of the Ogami Shrine at the foot of Miwasan.
The water, rice and yeast are all from Nara!
The owner recommended it to me as a taste of Nara.
Slightly refreshing aroma!
When you put it in your mouth, the alcohol taste goes away and you think it's dry, but soon the fruity taste spreads!
The fruity taste lingers in the aftertaste, but it is not harsh or unpleasant.
The first Shibori-shu (new sake) of a locally distributed brand, Sanomorosugi, which I visited Imanishi Sake Brewery and purchased during my visit to Ojinsha Shrine. It will be the best sake of the year, including the story behind it. It's so good!
Rice polishing ratio 70%.
Alcohol content 15
The rice flavor, crisp and fresh acidity, a tingling gasiness, and even a slight bubbly taste.
It's delicious, delicious, delicious! It's a pity that it is only available locally in Kanji-Sanmorosugi, though there may be another brand with a similar brewing process.
Well, a drink after work, tomorrow is my day off, there is no reason why it can't be delicious, and now this. Thank you for the sake. Thank you for the delicious sake.

At an izakaya in Nara Prefecture (I forgot to take a picture)
It was so delicious that it made me think that all the doburoku I have ever had were fake!
It may be doburoku, but my personal recommendation is the best ever!
The fresh aroma is irresistible!
The graininess of the rice remains, and it has a creamy mouthfeel like doburoku, but thanks to the fizziness, it is refreshing and has no unpleasant aftertaste at all!
I used to dislike doburoku, but if it's this good, I'll want it every time...
Imanishi Shuzo brews the sacred sake of the Ogami Shrine, and this nigorosugi muddy sake is a reproduction of that sacred sake. That is why it is said to be real muddy sake.
I am happy to drink such a great sake!

The kanji brand "Mimorosugi" has been distributed only in Nara Prefecture since its establishment, while the hiragana brand "Mimurosugi" was newly launched by the current owner of the brewery.
It is very easy to drink!
The moment you take a sip, the umami flavor spreads and the aftertaste is light!
It has just the right amount of acidity to make it an easy-drinking sake!
I guess it goes well with any meal!
Even my wife, who is not a fan of sake, liked it so much that she asked for more!
I can see why this sake is so popular!
Walking tour of temples, shrines and sake breweries 11
Today is a walking tour of Nara 😀.
We started from JR Sakurai station in Nara and walked 17 km from Abe Monjuin Temple to Oyamato Shrine in Tenri via Oomiwa Shrine and Yamanobe no Michi. 🚶♂️
On the way, in front of the gate of Oomigami Shrine is the Imanishi Sake Brewery of Mimuro Cedar 😀.
The store at the brewery only carries the local brand of samorosugi, no mimurosugi at all 🤣.
Lucky for us, we got a bottle of the newest limited edition Ooragarami sake that was just released today 😇.
They didn't offer any tasting at all, so we moved to the branch in front of Miwa station where they offer tasting for a fee 😀.
We had a new sake doburoku, a new sake junmai hatsushibori and a junmai daiginjo dewy leaf style.
I think you can only experience that kind of dobrokku, sweetness, richness and petitiveness at the brewery 😇.
I was also able to get a souvenir for myself, a new brewery limited edition ogara-mi, so it was a very satisfying walking trip😇.
Good evening, Yasube-san 🌒.
I see you went to Imanishi Sake Brewery👍.
I'm glad you were able to get some orikarami at the right time 😊.
Onigomimi, I've never heard of it before!
Hi Maru-san 😀
I think going to a brewery is a great way to discover new brands you don't normally see, get unexpected freshly pressed sake, and have many other fun encounters 😀.
Plus you get to walk around a lot, so it's even better 🤣.
Hi Masaaki Sapporo 😀
Ookami shrine is said to be the God of Sake, and Sanmorosugi-san, located in front of the shrine, has been a sake shop for a long time 😇.
Yamanobe no Michi is also an old road that dates back to the Manyo period and was a nice walk!
Good evening, Yasube!
I went there last month too, but they didn't have any limited edition warehouse 😭 Dubrok looks delicious too ‼️
I wonder if that's Imanishi-san's mom? She talks a lot 😁.
Walking 17 km 🚶 that's awesome😁.
Ao, good evening 😀
The mom at the store told me to wait a week for the second fermentation in the bottle before opening the bottle since it was just packed and put on the shelf today 🤣.
I'm getting fat since I started drinking sake, so I have to walk even on my days off😅.
Purchased at Miwa's own store on 11/22.
I drank the first shibori ogara-mi there and brought this one back as a trophy.
The aroma and mouthfeel are sweet and sour, as is typical of the Mikorosugi, and it also has the petitiveness of new sake, making it crisp and refreshing. ✨️
Compared to the orikarami, the flavor of the rice and a moderate bitterness can still be felt clearly.
It was very easy to drink and delicious!
Good morning, kuruma fu!
Kanji sammorosugi looks delicious too! I don't see them in my area, so I envy you ☺️
It's a wonderful visit to a directly managed store where you can taste both the oriogara-mi and the oriogara-mi 😊.
Hello, Kotaro-san!
I love samorosugi, so if I hear about a limited time release, I'll fly out to buy it!
The directly-managed stores also let me sample their seasonal sakes, so I guess I'll be a repeat customer!
I had no idea that my local supermarket carries this kind of thing.
The words "Beware of explosions when opening the bottle" made my heart skip a beat. The clerk carefully explained to me when to open the bottle and how to store it, and I took it home with me.
To put it simply, it is a sweet and sour gruel with a slight whiffle, and when the whiffle disappears, you can feel the alcohol, but it all disappears as soon as you swallow it.
It was delicious and went well with the salmon cream cheese and miso soup I bought at another supermarket.
Fizzy white color with rice grains intermingled. Fruity aroma reminiscent of melon. Aroma intensity is medium. Light fizzy mouthfeel. The attack is gently sweet. The umami and astringent flavors follow soon after, giving the impression of full-bodied richness. However, it has a short aftertaste with a good sharpness.
Because it is a doburoku, it is categorized as other brewed sake, not sake.
I heard that the sake brewery has closed? I heard that it will no longer be available, probably because the brewery has closed, but I ordered it!
It is a special junmai sake made with 100% dewy-leaf style rice and Yamanokami yeast.
I drink at home🎶.
I bought this the other day at Imanishi in Nara â
Is it a local brand of Mimuro Sugi?
Honjozo unfiltered draft
Is it the taste of Honjozo? It's sweet and delicious 😋.
Warmed sake and sake with crab 🦀😍!
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃
Heated sake in 🦀 is 👌.
But it's a hot pot 🍲😁 with top warming 😁.
I looked in the fridge 👀 and found this sake in Honjozo 😁 Honjozo is personally left over for the next day 😱.
Hatsushibori...It is easy to drink and delicious, with a delicious taste of rice and a slight lactobacillus-like sweetness.
Dobrok...It tasted like mixed juice with a slight bitterness, and at the same time, I could feel a little bit of a squishy feeling, and I could really feel the grainy texture of the rice.
