I decided to finish drinking this sake.
It was my first time to drink it.
I bought it because I liked the fact that it was a sparkling, nigori sake.
The fizz was much more than I expected.
The orikori is at the bottom of the bottle, so it is better to shake it up and down? No, it is not necessary.
When the bottle is opened, it rises from the bottom.
I have an image that sparkling sake is a little sweet, but this sake is refreshing and easy to drink.
I paired it with tempura and New Year's Eve soba noodles.
Thank you very much for your help this year.
Thank you very much for your support this year, and I look forward to working with you again next year.
I may post another update tomorrow.

The front label has an impressive image of Venom from a Western movie, or perhaps a wrestling-like image.
The back label says it is "orizumi" but there is no cloudy lees.
The writing on the back label is interesting and full of attributes.
Drink cold
It has a sweet ginjo aroma.
Mellow and rich on the palate.
The taste is robust and punchy with a tangy flavor.
Slightly dry aftertaste.
The taste lingers in the mouth for a while.
Because of its peculiar taste, it can be served with a variety of foods.

The moment it enters the mouth, the aroma of Yamahai comes in a flurry, but the aroma is not persistent, and the flavor of rice and the acidity, which is also found in Nara sake, are unique and delicious.
The toji seems to have changed, so this is a completely different sake from the former Okuharima, but it still has the same unique character.
I rather like this one.
It goes well with grilled meat, tofu marinated in miso, nabe, and many other dishes.

I have to upload this before I forget 💦 but I keep forgetting.
I'm not sure if Okuharima is right next to Yamaboshi, but okay😅.
This one is mellow and dry. The first sip is a bit dry, but the dryness is not as strong as I thought. The first sip is a bit too mildly dry. It has a soft sweetness in the aftertaste, and the umami of rice spreads in the mouth. However, it is dry, as it comes on later. It is dry. This is what we call "mellow dry". Amazing 😍.
Good morning, Wakata 😃.
Mellow and dry! That sounds good 😌.
I feel like drinking it warmed 🍶 when I see a label with this kind of atmosphere and color 😚.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃This was soooooo good 😋💕It sure looks absolutely delicious heated up! I don't know why I didn't think of that when Maru was there 😭 my big mistake 💦.
A bottle of Okuharima is uncorked!
It is a golden-colored Yamahai Junmai sake. It looks delicious.
It is served lukewarm.
It is dry and full of flavor. It has a nice sharpness and a long aftertaste that is unique to Yamada-Nishiki.
It goes very well with nabe (hot pot) and yudofu (tofu).
