It smells very nice too. I don't know how to describe it.... Anyway, I can't get enough of it!
This is Okura-san with Aizan and No.6 yeast.
The sweetness spreads in your mouth. It is also powerful. The balance with the acidity must be exquisite!
It finishes the drink neatly. So it is an endless loop of drinking it again right away.
Delicious!
President Okura is the best! Everyone in the restaurant was smiling~!
In November, Asano Sake Shop is holding the "Sake Nara Fair".
On the 1st, Mr. Okura visited the store, so we went there~.
It was past noon, but the store was packed.
Mr. Okura, wearing a hachimaki, was serving customers with a fan in his hand!
He is loved by everyone!
First of all, I had a cup of Asahi!
I love Okura after all! (laugh).
The aroma is outstanding. Gentle on the palate. Ripe fruit. Syrupy sweetness, but zero stickiness. Not tart. Strong flavor. It is a very drinkable sake.
It was an extremely tasty sake.
I bought this because it was the first Okura I had ever seen.
Ahhh, this is my very favorite type. It's a very tasty Yakult type. I wondered what the label read, and found that it was the name of a yeast called Saccharomyces Ed. It was written on the label.
I want to buy it again.
This is Okura's Arabashiri.
This is the first time I've had arabashiri.
I had it cold 🍶.
The first aroma is slightly sweet.
In the mouth it has a juicy sweetness with a hint of sourness.
It is well-balanced and delicious 😊.
I think Okura is something you drink with a sense of excitement because it is tasty but a little peculiar, thick or sour, so I was disappointed in a good way lol.

Okura Honke (Sake Brewery in Nara)
We enjoyed the introduction of the brewery and explanation of sake with humor!

The more I drink, the more I feel like I'm losing track of what I know about Sake. The more I drink, the more I feel like I don't understand sake anymore 😅...
The familiar JPEG degradation style label(?) The familiar JPEG degradation style label (?) of Okura.
Somehow, it smells like natto, paint, whiskey, and familiar smells.
When you drink it, the texture becomes thick and smooth.
It has a matured feeling, but the aroma is relatively soft and gentle.
It is like a black vinegar drink for beauty.
Taste level 3.5/5
This time, we had a rare Arabashiri made with yeast #77 from Okura, Nara Sake 🙏.
Like the label says, it is a yeast that produces malic acid 🍎.
I'm not sure if it's apple or not, but the fruitiness is very apparent 🍇🍇🍌🍎🍎.
It's refreshing, but also tasty and full-bodied like an Okura 😋😋.
