Souvenir from Iwate
Not much standing aroma, but the overtone is strong. It has a dark, fruity, banana-like flavor. It is a darker, more umami type of sake than the blue label sake we had previously.
Sake rice→100% Ginotome from Iwate Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio→55%.
Alcohol content→16
Yeast→Yuko no Soui

National Sake Fair 2025(´¦)
Dry sake with very active acidity.
Impressive sharpness and freshness.
Also, I think Senryo Otokoyama needs to be heated to fully appreciate its full potential, so I'll hold off on commenting on that.
I also had some Yamakita Junmai Daiginjo and Washinoo Kizunokou, but the shochu was starting to kick in and I was talking too much, so I don't really remember them, so I'm reserving comment!

This sake has a strong umami flavor. It also has acidity. The umami lingers in the aftertaste. There is almost no sweetness.

Tasting event at Okayama Sake Shop (11)
This time it was an orange label with orikarami 😊.
There were different colored labels last time and the time before.

Hyakuban, which you can only find here. I'm always thinking about buying it when I come here, so I'm glad I got to taste it. The tasting order was a bit earlier, but I forgot 😓.
Hyakuban Junmai Ginjyo Orikigarami Nama-nara Sake.
There was a hint of orikori. It has a silky sweetness and a bit of bitterness that is not too assertive.
I would like to try other kinds of sake because they are also colorful labels.
The image was borrowed from bouken again.
Paid tasting at Okayama Sake Shop 🍶①.
Nemuchi-san and bouken-san from Sake-no-wa came to Kyoto!
I had some errands to run 🙆🙆.
The first drink was Hyakuban, which was also at the tasting last time!
This time yellow 🟡 label!
Delicious 😋!
Ao, good evening 🌃
Thank you for the other day😊.
You had plans, but you joined us till the end 🙇.
I'm sure it was delicious! You don't see this at other liquor stores 🤔.
Good morning bouken 😁.
Thank you too 🙇.
We had a great time drinking together for a short while 😊.
I have never seen or had a drink outside of Oyama too.
Good evening, Ao-chan paisan 🌛Thank you for staying until the end even though you had some errands to run 🙇I didn't know the tasting system, so it was reassuring 💪I hope to see you again 😊It was delicious 😊Hundred Pans 😋.
Good evening, Nemuchi.
Let's go again!
After party, after party, after party 🤣 and even a visit to the liquor store 😊.
I could drink a lot more if I didn't have 5 different kinds of sake 😅
Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting (1)
I went to the tasting just as I was thinking of going to Kyoto because I had some sake I wanted to buy 😁.
The train was running very late, so we had to change our route and arrived a little late, sorry for keeping Nemuchi and Ao waiting 🙇.
I didn't have time to buy any entrée, but I got a lot of food 🙏.
The first one was my first Hyakuban!
Rice is Ginotome
Rice polishing ratio 55%, Sake degree +-0, Acidity 1.7, Amino acidity unknown
Alcohol 16%.
I had the impression that Hyakuban was a spicy sake, but it is sweet and delicious.
bouken Good evening 😊 Thank you very much! I couldn't get there in time either 😭
This sake was delicious! I think it was my favorite.
Let's all go together when we get a chance 👌
Good evening, bouken🦉.
I hope you enjoyed the tasting event in Okayama 😊👍I think the one I had before here was also delicious🤔I would like to buy it if I ever go there! I always drink so much I can't really remember what it tastes like 😆.
