It is orikagari, which means it has a stronger flavor, gasiness, and punch than the directly pumped sake we received the other day. Personally, I prefer this one.
It is a special sake that can only be enjoyed during this season, and I enjoyed it very much.
The 8th bottle of Orihunter
Today we had a bottle of Mutsu Hachisen's Nouveau Oorigarami 😀.
Actually, it's the same sake for the first time in half a year 😀!
Last season, I missed the timing to drink it and let the nouveau raw sit for half a year for petit-aging 🤣.
As I recall, the sake six months ago reminded me of white peaches, but this time it tasted more like young fruit...a bit like a green melon 😀.
I wonder if the difference in taste is due to the difference in the year or the difference in the aging process... I will have to try it again next year to find out 🤣.
Good morning, Yasube!
I see you are making steady progress with your Ori hunting 🎵.
I know you have as much stock as Yasbaye-san, so petit ripeness was not an option 😁✨✨.
Both the aged white peaches and the regular fruitiness look delicious 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki.
I guess I should check properly and do a FIFO, but if I'm not careful and let my mind be influenced by your postings, there will be an incident 🤣.
But it would be nice to see some interesting results 😀.
Rice polishing ratio: 55% for koji rice, 60% for kake rice
The first sip after opening the bottle reveals a fruity aroma and sweetness like green apples. As the sipping progresses, the fruitiness disappears and the umami and richness of the flavor increases. It is good as a food sake. Among the sushi items we had together, there were sea urchin and salmon roe. It did not go well with toro or shrimps.
Refreshing sake. The aroma is faintly sweet. There is a gentle acidity and sharpness that spreads bouffant while also being mellow on the palate. The aroma spreads in the mouth anyway, and a good balance of sweetness and bitterness like a soft drink is asserted!
The text color of the Hakusen label is also nice. I am worried about the damage from the earthquake.
