A bottle of sake brought as a souvenir from back home
A deliciously dry sake with a freshness and sharpness perfect for summer!
My father also praised this sake 🍶.
I had a summer cold for about a month and could not drink. It was really painful. Everyone, really be careful with colds, they are not half bad. The cough was especially hard.
Here is the first bottle of sake that I can finally drink. It's low in alcohol content, so it's a good choice after a long day of illness. Also, the name is good, isn't it? It is dyed with the sound of rain. The label is also good.
It tastes dry and has a low alcohol content. Well, I may not be able to judge it correctly because it is not in its full strength, but personally, I found it a little subtle. However, it might be suitable for drinking on a rainy day during the rainy season. I guess some of my expectations were high. Even though it is low in alcohol content, I might not recommend it to someone who is not accustomed to drinking sake.
At any rate, it is a bottle to celebrate my return to work. Happiness.
Good evening, Mr. Fish🐟🦉.
I'm sorry you had a cold 😰It must have been hard for you for a long time 😢I'm glad you are able to drink again 😊The name and label of this sake is very nice ✨.
Thank you, Pon-chan! This year's summer cold has a prolonged cough. The symptoms seem to be similar to corona and I can't distinguish between them. I am relieved to finally be able to drink alcohol. Take care, Pon-chan-san!
It is the junmai standard of Okuharima 🍶.
It was too hot to warm up the sake, so it was served at room temperature 🐣.
The first aroma is sweet with a slight graininess.
The first sip is slightly sour.
The first sip has a slight acidity, followed by a rich, mellow rice sweetness and umami.
The rice is melting.
But I think it would have been better to warm it up😅.
Also, I need to try some Junmai Nama Sake.
I need to try the unaged ones 😌.
It was delicious 🍶✨

This is a low-alcohol 13° sake with a fresh, clean, light mouthfeel while having a crisp taste with a low aroma and firm acidity typical of Okuharima. Sake made with white malted rice is brewed using Yamahai brewing method to pursue acidity as well as citric acid derived from white malted rice. By fermenting it thoroughly, the sweetness is reduced, resulting in a dry, sour sake.
President Motoki likes rainy days, so he asked a designer to create this world view, and the result is a wonderful label.
I was curious about the stylish bottle, so I asked about it and found out that it was made in Okuharima.
I was surprised at the different appearance from the image, but the aroma was very subdued and mild, and it was a perfect drink to enjoy during a meal.
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.

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 💧.
