I was not deterred, so I tried a summer sake. I wanted to drink it cold, but it was not as good as it should have been. It was more refreshing when it was slightly chilled, and it was softer. The spiciness and bitterness are also quite strong.
Maybe it's easy to drink in summer, but it's not my favorite 😓.
The label came off in the heat on the way home 😱.
Opened the bottle with a little sadness: ......
Okuharima has an image of being heavy, but this one has a more languid taste.
It is surprisingly easy to drink with a refreshing acidity from a rich umami flavor.
It has a unique, rich aftertaste, so I would like to pair it with strong-flavored snacks!

After beer, would you like some sake? and the owner's selection of Japanese kappo (Japanese-style kappo restaurant). I drink so much every time I go that it seems to happen automatically. 💦.
The first was Okuharima, end of summer.
The mouthfeel is summery from now on. A very drinkable sake with a good acidity in the umami flavor. Yet it has a clean aftertaste.

Fresh mouthfeel, with a sourness that is typical of summer sake.
A little sweetness in the mid-palate, with a more robust umami, which I feel is a good representation of the concept of being between summer and autumn sake.
The aftertaste is quite alcoholic, but the flavor is very sharp.
