At 20 degrees alcohol by volume, it is literally a strong bottle!
The Okuharima I drank before was unique but peculiar.
From the smell, it has a strong alcohol content.
It has a strong graininess and nuttiness, and you can already taste the peculiarity of aged sake.
When you take a sip, you will find that ...... is very unique!
It has a solid body, a unique acidity typical of Yamahai, and a rich umami flavor that spreads out slowly.
I am glad I prepared roast beef as a snack.
Gutty red meat goes perfectly with it.
It is not something that can be drunk all at once, so let's enjoy it in small doses.
We get a mouthful of R4BY. As the label says, it is a mixture of various sakes.
It has a slight sense of maturity and a crispness with a clear, sake yeast-like acidity. It is not too heavy and easy to drink, while still having a matured and sake yeast-like feel.
Okuharima Bariju, brewed for the first time since Mr. Yamauchi moved to Okuharima.
We had it warmed 🍶.
The aroma on the nose is sweet with a slight grain aroma and a hint of lactic acidity.
The palate is dry and refreshing with a delicate acidity and the beautiful sweetness and umami of Yume-Nishiki.
Compared to the 26BY that we drank in May, the acidity is tame, but the balance of sweetness and umami is very good (in the sense that it is generally well received).
As a member of the "perverted sake lover's club," I prefer a more acidic wine 😇.
When it gets a little cooler, I plan to buy a bottle and leave it uncorked at room temperature 😘.
Not so in Okuharima ^_^
Acid and dry from white malted rice, this feeling.
I was going to drink it in midsummer, but it has passed the equinoctial equinox.
I served it with boiled flounder.
Purchased on a business trip to Hyogo. At first, it was served chilled at about 12°C. It was dry and had a delicious rice flavor. In the second half, I heated it up and the aroma spread and the taste became softer. It was unexpectedly delicious for the price.
