We did it! It is the long-awaited Nouveau. Actually, we have already drunk all of the Nouveau straight pumped, so this year we are only posting the Oragara.
As usual, the bottle was opened with a sizzle. I am looking forward to seeing what it will be like this year.
It is closer to colorless than I expected. I am not sure if it is because of the ori.
This year's Naokumi had a more subdued aroma and a stronger bitterness, but the Orikagara has the same piquancy, and after a short pause in the mouth, green apples are fragrant.
After a short pause in the mouth, the green apple aroma comes through. The bitterness surrounds the sourness and sweetness. Overall, the bitterness is strong, but the fullness and sharpness are also satisfying.
Mutsu Hachisen Shiboritate😋.
It has a fresh and clean mouthfeel.
It has a juicy flavor that is more dry than fresh, and is one that I would like to pair with seafood.
It was still delicious 😊.

I was lured by the fact that it was the first ✨nouveau ⁉️ ogara-mi ⁉️ and bought it ‼️
Mellow and crisp taste: ‼️
I recommend drinking it the way you usually drink it.
Well balanced, very easy to drink and very good‼️
Rice: 100% Aomori rice

Highly recommended! Fresh and crisp aroma like a new sake, but the acidity is not too strong and the umami is also tasty. Goes well with edamame (green soybeans).
