The second drink was Oroku.
I enjoy having a brand that I don't often see.
Gentle acidity, maybe I'm imagining it, but it's a little tangy.
But it also has a strong umami and sweetness!
This is delicious!
There is a slight malted rice smell, but it becomes less noticeable after drinking about half a gou of sake.
You can taste sakekasu in the aroma and taste. I think it is one of the less sweet and more bitter active nigori. It is quite tasty, but for me it is an expensive sake, and considering that I would drink it in two or three days on a non-special day, I really have a hard time buying it. There are cheaper and better tasting sakes out there, so I wonder if that would be a better deal.
Still, I like my hometown sake, Oroku.
Degree of buying again 9/10

It is truly a mountain stream sake!
Like a clear stream and powerful.
A light sake that is easy to drink and goes down smoothly.
It has a freshness and a perfect balance of umami and bitterness.
Slightly sweet. A light and refreshing fruity feeling.
Just the right amount of acidity and a clean crispness.
This is the second sake I paired with tempura.
It quickly drains away the oily feeling of fried food, but leaves the harmony of the tempura and the flavor of the sake rice.
Tonight, a bottle of this one here 💁♂️ as a continuation of the muddy picks.
Oroku Kei Junmai Nigori 2022BY✨
This is a junmai nigori unfiltered from Ohroku's Kei series.
It's close to what I drank last time and a little gas rises when you open the bottle 😊🫧.
From the top clear (light nigori). It has melon, dried grapes, plums, and a hint of creaminess. The taste has a tingling gas, acidity, and rice sweetness and flavor that I love, and the high alcohol content is full and dry 😋😋😋😋.
I like the dryness and creaminess of the wine when the lees are fully agitated and the intoxication goes away faster 😆.
Like last time, it's easy to drink but has a strange charm that makes it drinkable 🍶🍶.
