Oki Island Drink Comparison Set
Comparison of Muromachi, Edo and present day drinking
Muromachi is sweeter and becomes more refreshing as it becomes more present day.
I think Muromachi is the sweetest and easiest to drink.
The taste is totally different and strange.
We landed on Oki Island.
It takes one hour from the mainland by Rainbow Jet.
A regular ferry takes two and a half hours.
We will have the best part of the trip, local sake.
There is no reason why it should not go well with fresh seafood dishes.

My wife and I went on a trip to the Oki Islands.
I left the kids alone 🤣.
I bought this Oki Honor as a souvenir for myself.
I drank it cold and it is easy to drink and tastes better than the price 😊.
Junmai-shu (pure rice sake) made by reproducing the production process from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji 30s.
Very dry mouthfeel. I was surprised at how dry it was, as I had imagined it to taste sweet like Muromachi 😳 The aftertaste has bitterness, astringency, and the delicious taste of rice.
It has an excellent balance of acidity, umami, and richness!
It is no exaggeration to say that this sake was made to be drunk as a heated sake.
We are grateful that it came all the way from Oki Island to our home.
As is typical of the island's local sake, the 100% Oki Yamadanishiki gives a strong sense of terroir!
It is served with boiled egg, chash, and mackerel in miso!
A reproduction of a Muromachi period sake.
It is so sweet that it really is pure sake without additives. The taste is similar to Shaoxing sake, as is the color. Soda is also recommended.
Oki Honor Daiginjo bought in Oki Island for the end of the year with my father at home. It has the lightness and odorless sweetness of a daiginjo with a strong rice flavor. It is tasty, but the lack of the mellowness of recent sakes is a little lacking, but I think that this kind of sake should be called daiginjo.
