😆This is a check-in from when I visited Okufuji, the brewery in Ako 3 years ago when I was not so interested in Sake 😃My main sightseeing was at Kira Kira Kira Slope and the popular gelato store Sakarita across the street, but the brewery was also open so I just dropped by as a side trip. We were so glad we stopped by 😅. I was looking for an easy to drink 🍶 with a good mouthfeel, and while looking at the description, I bought this Otome 😃Although the alcohol content was a little high at 17.5, it was easy to drink with a fruity, apple-like aroma and a sweet but refreshing taste. ☺️ Label: 🏷️ Low difficulty😍. It peeled off easily when soaked in hot water. Where to buy 🍶:Okudo Shoji Co.

The other day, I had a bottle of Otome, another brand of sake called Ako Ronin, brewed by Okufuji in Sakagoshi, a short walk over the mountains from Oishi Shrine at Ako Castle 😀 It is an alky sake, but it didn't feel too alky 😀. It is an alcohol-sweetened sake, but it didn't feel like an alcohol-sweetened sake 😀. After my second tour of Japan, my next goal was to go on a walking tour of the breweries, but this one doesn't count because it was before I made it public 🤣. But this Sakagoe is famous for oysters, so I would like to come back again during the winter oyster season 😀.

Good evening, Yasbaye 😃. Quite a quintessential Yasbaye 👍 great attitude to rule by rules made by yourself 🥹I would count it out 😆 but now you have something fun to match your winter oysters 🦪🤗.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😀. It's not that big of a reason 🤣. Ako is the farthest away from Okayama prefecture in Kansai, so oysters alone are not a good enough reason, so I just added a visit to a sake brewery to the list of reasons 🤣.

It has a minerality, but it is easy to drink with an apricot-like sweetness that comes out much later. Classical, but with a strong lactic acidity, perfect with meat dishes. I bought this bottle when I visited Fujioka Shoji in Ako. I gave my friend a Chushingura cattle set as a gift, but bought Otome Junmai for home use. I've seen the ginjo at Kobe Hankyu, but this is the first time I've seen the junmai💡. I went to the brewery and learned for the first time that Otome has a longer history. The person at the brewery who sold it to me said it was "moderately peculiar", but I personally found it to be classic but to my liking and enjoyed it ✨. 720 mL ¥ 1,320

さけのり
Sake from Ako, Banshu, famous for Ako Ronin The brewery has a signature brand name "Chushingura," but in fact "Otome" seems to be the origin of this brewery... It is a very clear, clean sake with no cloying taste. As the name suggests, it is "Otome". It has a hint of sweetness, and is not too harsh (laugh). Nothing but a maiden... (laugh) Delicious!
