60% polished rice
Muscat-like aroma. Aroma is very sweet.
It tastes super fruity. It tastes thick like mirin (sweet cooking rice wine).
You can also taste lychee. It has a pleasant sourness and is very good. You don't need any snacks. You should drink it as it is!

The first Oyama, Maruka Oyamama was opened 🎉.
This Oyama is the sake recommended by the liquor store we always go to 🍶.
The pop-up in the store is also highly recommended, and I asked the staff about it and they told me that the Maruka Oyamama was excellent this time 👍😄.
Interesting 🤔 if the liquor store is that heavily promoted?
I bought some unscheduled 🤣.
Now I'll have some 🥂.
The aroma is sweet!
It has a smooth texture in the mouth and goes in without resistance.
The middle part of the bottle is filled with the flavor and sweetness of rice, which is soon combined with a deep berry-like sweetness, and the complex flavors come together to create a very rich taste.
There is no pungency, no bitterness, and no gassiness.
The alcohol content is also low at 13%, so you don't even feel the alcohol!
It is certainly complete and delicious 😋.
My impression is that it's similar to Nabeshima's no gas feeling.
That's just my feeling 😅.
As I drank more and more, it got thicker and heavier💦.
Hmmm...hard to say 😓I don't think I'll repeat.
I would much prefer the gassy, crisp Nabeshima for this. ❣️
I would recommend it to anyone who likes rich, robust, thick sake 🥰.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛I like the idea of trying a brand for the first time✨️I tend to choose stable brands, so I envy you🥰I get tired of drinking "Dodoshiri" but sometimes I want to drink it 🤤🥰.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
If it's recommended by a liquor store you're familiar with, you'll want to give it a try 🎵.
You never know until you drink it. 👍️
But this review sounds sweet and delicious 😋.
Good evening, Hina Hana Mama 😃.
I have never heard of this brand before😃.
It's a rich sweet sake 🍶 recommended by a liquor store.
I'm interested in it.
It's true that the back label advertises "super concentrated brewing that overturns conventional wisdom" 😅.
I wonder if it's similar to kijoshu 🧐.

Good morning...
I've never seen this before from Kato Kahachiro Sake Brewery 😳I like Jusui from this brewery and it's delicious, but it still may not be as gassy as this Oyama 💦 but I'm interested to try it!
Hi Nao888 😃Thanks for your comment 😃.
I'm always a little apprehensive about my first sake, but I'm so happy when it's a hit 🙌!
This time it was a subtle one, but I think it's a satisfying sake when you want a little drink: ❣️
Hi ma-ki-, hi 😃Thank you for your comment 😃.
It was hard to pull it off 😅It is indeed sweet and rich ❗️ but it was a bit heavy for me 💦I recommend this bottle if you want a rich drink 🥰.
Hi shinsaku3 😃Thank you for your comment...
I think it's not as sweet as kijoshu. But it is rich 😆 I felt it was heavy because it is not refreshing. Depending on your cooking, it might be easier to drink 🧐.
Hi Kozo 😃Thank you for your comment...
I see Jusui at Sake no Wa! I didn't know it was the same brewery 😆 Then you might like this one too, Kozo-san! If you want, you can try it at ❣️ I'd love to hear what you think 👌
Good evening, HinaHanaMama🦉.
I'm sure you'd like to try some if it's your favorite liquor store's recommendation 😊and it's great that you're taking on the challenge✨I'd like to be aggressive without getting stuck in a rut 😁.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😄Thank you for your comment.
It's hard to say no to a liquor store when they offer it to you, but I'm sure you'll be interested in it 😆.
Pon-chan, you are a good example for me ❣️ 🥰.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃
I'm a big fan of the liquor store's recommendation! I'm curious 🤗Nice try 🏉👍I've been drinking a lot of refreshing drinks and sometimes I feel like the thicker ones are 😳 but if I keep drinking 4 gou bottles, hmmm 🤔...I know what you mean ‼️
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃Thank you for your comment 😃.
Lately, I feel like my body needs different drinks depending on the season, my condition, etc 😅 maybe it's because it's spring 🌸 right now I'm looking for sweet and sour, a little bit gassy 🥰.
Limited edition cask sake from Oyama.
Very elegant cedar barrel aroma. It has an elegant aroma as if you were invited to a newly built house. The dryness lingers in the aftertaste.
It can be served cold, room temperature, or warmed to your liking, so I tried it at room temperature and then warmed.
It's not at all aromatic, healing, and slightly swollen with warmed sake, but just a warming sensation.
I'm numb even with the Risshun morning aperitif, and I can't stop thinking about Oyama 🤩.
Sake is Oyama, love sake 🤩🤩🤩.

At an izakaya. Drank it hot.
The alcohol taste is surprisingly strong. It has no peculiarities, and the sharpness is good, so it disappears quickly. Dry.
Sake-like flavor, but it's good.
Suitable for hot sake.
Maruka Oyamama 13% raw sake 🍶.
Sweetness is just a little
Slightly tingling and carbonation ✨.
Peach 🍑 on the nose after swallowing
Impression of peach is something you don't come across very often 😌.
Easy to drink and delicious 💕
