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 😆.
Purchased at a locksmith in Sakanamachi when I returned home.
Iwate is the pride of Ichinoseki, in the southern part of the prefecture, and the Iwanoi Sake Brewery "Hyakuban"!
It is my favorite brand.
Hyakuban is a dry yet umami style that is similar to Niigata sake.
This time, the sake was a rare type of sake called "Hi-ire" (hi-ire of raw sake). In contrast, I realized that I have been drinking only nama sake and unfiltered nama sake.
Despite the fact that it is not a ginjo-shu, the aroma is fresh, clean, and sweet, reminiscent of bright red apples.
This high aroma is the result of Iwate's original yeast, "Yuko no Souri".
I was born and lived in Morioka City until I graduated from elementary school. The elementary school I attended was surrounded by apple fields, so the children were called "Ringokko.
It is a vivid apple-like aroma that brings back the spirit of "Ringokko".
In the mouth, you will find the same moderate apple-like sweetness and refreshing acidity as in the aroma.
Then, the pungency of the alcohol gently passes by. The mild dryness melts in harmony with the acidity.
I was thinking about what to do when I couldn't fit the word count, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
It is a modest sake, but has a strong aroma and flavor that makes you feel at ease when you drink it.
That's what I wanted to say. (Laughs)
We had a good amount of it for outside drinking. The aroma is subdued and the umami is alive and well, and I never get tired of it. I think it is a brand that should be appreciated more.
