Today's sake is Okuharima Oragami from Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture❗️
It was made in December 2023, so it's a bit like an old sake❗️The aroma is sour and smoky❗️As you sip, you get a dense texture on the tongue, followed by a tangy acidity and the stimulation of the original sake in the back of your throat❗️❗️ interesting sake❗️
It is relatively heavy. It is not a dry type, but it seems to go well with a full-bodied meal.
It is more enjoyable to drink it with something than by itself!
Fresh mouthfeel, as is typical of nama-shu (unpasteurized sake).
The taste and aroma peculiar to Yamahai remain in it.
It goes well with simmered dishes with a slightly strong flavor rather than fish.
My favorite ★★☆☆☆☆☆

Okuharima" after a long time.

It has a solid presence and an outstanding drinking experience.
It has a solid presence and is very satisfying to drink.
I want to drink it again.
It has a strong umami, but it has a light sweetness and acidity, and is very sharp. It is easy to drink, with a fresh flavor and fresh overtones.
I thought it would go well with sashimi with tuna, but surprisingly it did not go well with tuna, but it did go well with cucumber with miso.

Sake that goes well with sashimi!
I wanted to drink this kind of dry sake! This is a classic sake!
It was my husband's favorite sake from his hometown!
There are a lot of good sake in the area, probably because of the strong festival culture, and many of the locals are strong drinkers....
I went back home again this year and I am so glad I did...!
I'm glad I came here as a bride! Every year I think to myself, "I'm so glad I came here!
