It has been a long time since I last visited Orihara Shoten.
Somehow, it smells cool and sweet.
The texture feels firm and smooth when you take a sip.
The flavor is slightly rummy.
In the mouth, there is not much of an aroma,
The clear sweetness is followed by a rounded, rich acidity.
It is also good in terms of cost.
Taste 4/5 stars.

Iwaizumi yogurt, made famous by Ootanisan. Collaboration with Nanbu Bijin?
When I went to Ryusendo Cave, I found something I had never seen before frozen.
I guess they freeze it for tourists.
Just as well it had melted by the time we got back to the hotel.
I bought one for my wife, but isn't it expensive at just under 3,500 yen? (Tourist spot price, huh?)
I heard it tasted pretty good, so I guess it's OK.
We took a short detour to Yokohora Farm.
I heard that the butter and pudding were delicious, but... they only sell them online.
I was able to meet the manager of the farm, and we decided to visit the farm. I got to experience milking a cow.
The cows here are free-range, but they seem to come down the mountain on their own and let us milk them.
(She was milking while eating a snack.)
I was surprised to see cows waiting for their turn to be milked. Not only ningen, but cows line up too...
We also got some freshly milked milk🥛.
It was rich yet refreshing.
The cow has such pretty eyes. She's a beauty!
After milking, she went back to the mountain with her kids.
Nanbu Bijin Special Junmai Sake
Rating 4.4
Rice: Ginotome, Rice polishing ratio: 55%, Alcoholicity: 15-16%, Sake degree: +4.0, Acidity: 1.5
A "food sake" with an edgy acidity, a crisp, dry taste, and a full-bodied flavor.
The aroma (melon✕ lychee) is also noticeable, although it is restrained.
At a nearby bar.
I hadn't had a Nanbu Bijin for a long time.
Oh my god, it's super delicious.
It tastes rich, thick, and robust!
It has a concentrated flavor! Delicious!
