Tochigi Ai🥰 Strengthening Month No. 6
At a local liquor store that recently started handling CWS
It says it's dry, but it has a gentle sweetness like tropical fruits or mixed juice.
The second half is firm, dry and crisp, with a short finish. When I tasted it, I thought it was very individualistic, but it is really good.
If I hadn't tasted it, I would never have bought it, so thank you for letting me try it.
Hello bouken!
I found it the other day and was wondering if I should buy it, but after reading your review, I still wanted it: ✨️
I didn't read the etiquette on the back, but I see it's "origami" 🥰.
Hi Gyve 😃
I was going to pass on this because it says it's dry, but I was impressed with it when I tasted it so I bought it 😁.
I didn't think it was raw and clingy myself until I picked it up when I bought it 😅.
Hello bouken 😃
This is Ona-chan! When Nobby went to buy it at Mashidaya, they didn't have it and when I showed him the picture, he apologized that he didn't know it 😅.
I don't think they have it because it's CWS 🧐I'll look for it ‼️
Hello Jay & Nobby ☀☀☀.
Oops 💦 sorry to hear that 😢.
I don't think you can get it even at Ona's distributor if they don't carry CWS, so it's no wonder the store owner doesn't know about it 😅.
Hope you get it 🥺.

I like hiyaoroshi. Ona is a brewery of great ability, so I couldn't help but have high expectations for this sake!
The aroma is very mild, with a hint of rustic sweetness. When the soft brewing water is added, a freshness, a slight bitterness, and a delicious flavor blooms in the mouth. However, it is ephemeral, and before you know it, it is gone, leaving a faint spiciness in the back of your throat. Hiyaoroshi, which conveys the moment of summer, is also served this evening!
The weather is delicate. ☂️ gradually feel the arrival of autumn🍂 these days. Yes, autumn means hiyaoroshi (grated Japanese mustard) and akitogi (autumn fish), which is why we chose this one: 💁♂️
Let's start with the standing aroma. It has a mild aroma of ears of rice with a hint of alcohol.
When you put it in your mouth, it is smooth and refreshing. You can feel a pleasant lingering flavor from the beginning to the end of drinking.
Serve with grilled swordfish. The flavor of the grilled fish and this sake loop together in a good balance. Oh, it is delicious!

Tonight is one of the recent regular sakes
Jungin🍶 by "Daina
My wife is coming to Osaka this weekend.
I opened the bottle the day before so that she could get used to it on the second day.
I opened the bottle the day before with the plan to have her try it for the first time 😊.
First of all, the aroma...
It is more refreshing than usual.
Assuming that the taste would also be refreshing
When I had a sip... yeah ❗️ it's still refreshing 😋.
I'll be bummed to see how it changes on the second day💦.
Then, the second day arrived!
A little more sake-like aroma.
I swung the other way 😅.
But the taste was clean and tasty with no major changes 🤣.
Good evening, Mr. Baum 😃.
A calm and serene Ona-san! We got ours at the Utsunomiya LRT opening celebration for color matching 😋.
Looks like the label has darkened since then 🧐.
The sweetness is moderate and the impact of the sake is weak. It is easy to drink and refreshing, just like hiyaoroshi sake. Ideal as an in-between-dinner drink.
Ona Tokubetsu Junmai Hiyakioroshi
The color is clear and transparent with a slight yellow tinge.
The aroma is mild, but the richness of the rice is soft and fluffy.
The texture is slightly heavy.
The mouthfeel is slightly smooth and rounded, as is typical of hiyaoroshi.
The moment it enters the mouth, exquisite acidity, slight sweetness and umami spread softly.
There is also a sweet and sour capsule-like flavor, which seems to be a synergistic effect with autumnal foods that contain a lot of umami and amplify the umami.
The soft richness of the rice is firmly present in the back.
The taste is cut off smoothly and cleanly, leaving a deep aftertaste that is hard to leave behind.
I felt the arrival of autumn.
Ona's Concept Worker's Selection.
It tasted a little like something strange that I had never had before. The elements of dryness, acidity, and a hint of origami give it a strange quirkiness.
It's not that it tastes bad, but it's a difficult bottle to keep drinking on its own.
