It is said to be a test sake made with Japan's oldest yeast.
The last time I drank Okura, it was very distinctive, so I bought it with high expectations.
I am looking forward to seeing what kind of characteristics I can discover.
This is a distribution course held by the liquor shop in Nara. Therefore, the bottles I get are Nara's local sake. This is one of them, Okura.
This tastes slightly dry but fruity like grapes.
If you are a dry sake lover, it's very suitable for you.
The label is interesting and intriguing, so I bought it.
It is sweet and a little thick, but it has a sour taste and does not leave a sweet taste.
It's unique and I haven't had this type of wine before.
Delicious!

I'm a little curious.
Special Junmai Arabashiri?
Let's take it as soon as possible.
I'll keep it to about 1/3 of the glass.
No, this is so good!
The sweet and sourness is nice 🆗.
I've been drinking Okura since we had an off-line meeting at an izakaya in Morioka 3 years ago.
So it's Nara sake.
I'll keep that in mind.
And it's Nara for Golden Week!

Drinking two days in a row!
It's a comfortable weather today!
I put on short sleeves just in case lol
Today's toast is by Mr. Okura.
I found Mr. Okura wearing a hachimaki with an uchiwa in one hand!
I had the pleasure of greeting him!
One glass is 300 yen. Yassou!
It was the cheapest price of any sake over the two days. That's what I'm talking about.
Kanpai!
It is not as thick and juicy as the usual Okura.
But of course it's delicious!
Mellow and sweet.
I had two cups of Okura-san, which I loved!
R1BY, unfiltered, raw sake.
What an intriguing spec.
I somehow picked it up for the first time, but it seems to be a distinctive sake brewery. Is this decided to be a sake brewery that you want to try various things?
The lactic acidity like that of mizu-hashiro (water yeast yeast) is perverse. It becomes addictive as you drink it. I like this character.
As I thought, it can also be served warmed. This, this, this.
