Okuharima, dyed by the sound of rain
Almost no scent 🫥.
Ultimate dry! Almost no sweet, sour, bitter, etc., and disappears instantly from the mouth... It is low al (13 degrees) so there is no harshness!
I drank it with white fish sashimi and it was the best match! I had it with white fish sashimi and it was the best match!
Okuharima produced this Yamahai Junmai sake using Yamadanishiki.
Unlike ordinary sake, Yamahai brewing does not use artificial lactic acid, but rather a more natural, traditional method of making lactic acid by drawing lactic acid bacteria from the air.
The umami of Yamadanishiki is brought out by not shaving too much.
It has a deep acidity and sweetness, with a firm richness and umami.
It has a surprisingly clean mouthfeel.
I don't know how to read it (laughs).
I think I've had Okuharima-san a few times, but I think this baby is exceptionally good. It has a unique nutty aroma, dry and interesting taste, but an honorable feeling that does not interfere with food...good girl.
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.
