Special Junmai -Akiagari
The end of the prohibition of alcohol
It's been a while since I've had a drink ......
Mature aroma
Slight caramel aroma
Moderate acidity
Combined with the delicious taste of rice
Highest ✨
It's best when warmed to lukewarm 🍶.
Sake and food go together 😋😋😋😋😋😋.
Fruity and sharp sake is good
but in autumn, I like to pair it with a meal.
A perfect food wine
Kiku-Hashiroshi Junmai 2-stage brewed unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Gin-no-sato Polishing ratio 70%.

Like Yakult syrup, twisted sweetness, sweet, like old sake
Okura from Kashiba City, Nara Prefecture, a brand I had been curious about and finally came across.
I had heard that it had a peculiar taste, but it was indeed rich and aromatic with a unique flavor. However, it was not as bad as I expected and was easy to drink with a taste similar to that of Tamagawa. It was a good match with gyoza (Chinese dumplings).
This time it's Okura's Aizan x Association No. 8 unfiltered raw sake R1BY.
It's already crazy 😅.
It is served cold.
Pale yellow-green in color.
The nose has a mild ripe apple and nutty aroma.
The mouthfeel is thick.
The taste is robust and rich,
The first thing that hits your throat is the acidity. From there, deep raisin and ripe apple nuances, and overall, a round and thick flavor that is pleasantly mellow and thick.
In the latter half, the bitter taste gradually fades away, leaving behind a mild sweetness and umami.
The powerful flavor of Aizan and Association No. 8 is, of course, a given! However, R1BY's mildly rounded and matured taste makes it easier to drink and tastier than expected.
It is powerful, but it doesn't stop you from drinking.
This kind of mellow umami type is still my favorite 💕.
And when heated, the ripe aroma settles down, and the savory broth from the rice, acidity, and bitterness become more balanced and delicious.
In my opinion, Aizan sake is sweet and juicy.
But this one is not sweet 😎.
Aizan, like Okura, was recommended to me by Noyori-san and it was a good encounter 😊.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening 😃.
We too have an image of Aizan = sweet 😅I've never had Okura-san 🥲 but I'm curious about it as well as Jive-san 🥲 powerful but going forward ‼️
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. Okura has a very interesting selection of sake. I had a customer at my part-time job who ordered the Okura 3-sake comparison and he was very happy with it 🤣.
Okura Yamahai Special Junmai Unfiltered Nama-shu 3300 yen
Today's snacks were grilled home-grown amacho pepper, home-grown gouya tempura, wakasagi tempura, and potato soup! The entrée made me want sake, so I opened a new bottle of this one.
The aroma is sweet and sour goodness💜.
The first attack is a combination of moderate sweetness and sourness, which I love ♥️, but my wife is not so sure 💦...so this one is for me and me alone 🤣.
GoyaThe red fruits with ripe seeds are very sweet and go well with sake. 💕︎
