It's been 9 months since my last visit to Sake no Wa!
I had to take a break due to pregnancy and childbirth, but I am back!
This is not the first drink of my revival, but it is the Oroku, which you don't see very often.
It's delicious...probably everything is delicious now...lol!
It is gentle on the palate and has a clean aftertaste. Easy to drink.
I feel like my taste buds are sharper when I take a break from drinking alcohol. LOL!
Good evening, Kempi 😃.
I thought it's been a while, but this is your first post this year! Congratulations on your birth ㊗️ 🎉
Enjoy your delicious drinks with your sharp new tongue 👋
Shuwa-Yami acidity
Strong mouthfeel like Oroku, but refreshing due in part to the slight effervescence.
Be careful not to drink too much as it has a high alcohol content.
My father-in-law caught some flounder for me.
So I made boiled fish 😊.
So I checked the fridge for a sake to go with it and opened a bottle of my favorite Oroku-sama ✨.
I thought it would be a classic type of sake, but while it certainly has a classic taste, the aroma is milky fruity and the taste is sweet and bitter.
The strong alcohol taste, combined with the mountain stream flavor, was hard to describe in one word, but it was a taste worthy of a high class sake.
I had it cold this time.
I had it cold this time, but the staff recommended heating it up.
I would like to try it heated as well. ❤️
Good evening, Mr. Rurun!
I'd like to have a glass of the boiled flounder that my father-in-law caught 🤤.
Fish and sake go so well together, so you have a great choice of sake 🎵.
I haven't tried Oroku sake, but it looks well-balanced and delicious 😋.
Hello ma-ki- sir 😊.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the fish!
It was my first time to taste Oroku, too, and I could feel the delicate attention to detail of the master brewer: ❤️

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.
