I thought a cup of sake would be just right for a cup of hot sake.
So I bought a cup of Okuharima.
When I lightly warmed it up, it had a solid, classic feel with a light yellowish hue.
This kind of sake is also good.
There was already a cherry blossom label in the fridge, so I had a glass.
It has a punch for a spring sake, but is light and balanced for Okuharima.
It's good!

I drank a junmai sake from Okuharima.
100% Hyogo Yume Nishiki
The conclusion was that I really liked the taste.
As usual, I warmed the sake and took a sip. It has a strong umami flavor, and I got the impression that it would be good with fatty red meat, even in sashimi. It can also be used with meat.
I liked the taste so much that I tried it cold, and to my surprise, the sweetness was more pronounced. The sweetness is more pronounced. I like it cold, too.
Okuharima is so deep!
