Cool label and name.
Soft citrus aroma, light when drunk. Gentle bitterness. I thought it would be good as a summer sake because of its refreshing taste.
I am a fan of Okuharima,
I'm a fan of Okuharima, but it's been a while since I've seen it,
I didn't know there was such a great one out there!
I would like to try it!
Slightly angular, fresh rice,
Good sake-like aroma with a hint of fruitiness.
Surprisingly, it has a magic ink for a moment when you take a sip.
The spiciness of alcohol comes to the nose.
It soon passes, and the aroma is like that of rum.
The rice is delicious.
There is a slight bitterness afterwards.
It is deliciously spicy. Good balance.
It also makes the food taste good. A good food sake.
Degree of liking ☆4/5
moderately
Is this the first new release by Toji Yamauchi, who moved from Miyako Bijin to Okuharima? I tasted a bit of it.
It is said to be a blend of Yama-hai with white malted rice and blue label Okuharima Summer Mellow Super-Harima, which is then watered and flame-brewed.
The top aroma is slightly like cooked rice.
In the mouth, there is a slight acidity and umami, but it is quite refreshing.
Summer mellow super-harsh had a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, so adding water to make it a 13 degree Celsius sake makes it seem...well...lacking in punch 😂.
I will look forward to more in the future.
Thank you for the food 🍶.
A bottle from Sumino Sake Shop's May Hanpukai 🍶.
Okuharima has an image of being peculiar and strong (as in Omune's), so I avoided drinking it at home 💧.
I heard that Mr. Toji Yamauchi moved from Miyako Bijin this season, so it will be interesting to see if the style will have too much acidity and amino acids 👀.
This time I had it with sashimi 🐟 as it was dry, sharply shaken, with a slight magic smell and a light bitterness as it receded.
Buy a tank of one, Sumino Sake Shop's original sake 🛢️

Good morning, bouken. ☀︎
I see, I guess it's best not to leave it too long and drink it right away💦.
I've seen some of your instagrams on aged sake, but I wouldn't touch it just for curiosity 💧.
Purchased at a liquor store near my parents' house.
It was served cold. It was not fruity or sweet, but sharp and acidic. It is good to drink as a food sake while eating canned whale meat stewed in Yamato (soy sauce) and horse mackerel sashimi. It has a pleasant feeling of resetting the palate. It is good to drink with a meal, as it needs a little more sweetness to be drunk by itself.

Not only spicy, but also a summer sake with a strong flavor.
Refreshingly fresh sake with a good aftertaste that gives you a cool and refreshing sensation.
Rice: Yamadanishiki/Yumanishiki (Hyogo), Polishing ratio 55
This sake is limited to Tangen Shouten in Suma.
The combination of Jun Dai's clean, refreshing taste and maturity makes for an exquisite balance. I would like to try it with a fresher quality, but I think this one might be good as well.
I thought it would be good, but the smell was still bothering me, even though I bought it with the understanding that it was 3BY...
I'll try to stay away from matured Okuharima in the future...
Like the last active nigori, it should be my favorite type if it's fresh 🤔.
Good evening bouken😅
I wonder if this store has aged Okuharima Yamahai if I go to the store?
I see on the mail order section of the website that they don't sell the matured version 🤔.
I want that one 😂.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo 🌃
I don't know if they have aged Yamahai, but they had a larger selection of Okuharima than other stores 🤔.
I honestly can't rely on the inventory on their website😅.
Iwai Hisashi Shoten in Akashi also has a lot of special orders and is very strong 😊.
Purchased at Iwai Kotobuki Shoten in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. The brewer's recommendation at the Okuharima store tasting. Put it in a rocks glass with ice and mix it with 1:1 carbonated water.
Lemon-like acidity. It has a refreshing taste.
Store Drinking.
The color is clear.
The aroma has a slight suessful feeling.
The taste is the umami of rice (🌾). No sweetness or acidity.
The mouthfeel is refreshing, like water.
Slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
Good sharpness.
As the name suggests, it is indeed a mellow, dry sake.
