Light on the palate, with good aroma and acidity.
It is not only light, but also has a core of umami from the rice.
and it seems to be easy to match with food as well.
Congratulations on your first sake from Okayama, chika🎉!
I've only had one sake from Okayama, so I'm curious to see what kind of delicious sake it is 🎵.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan 😆👍✨✨
Okayama... it's not easy to find 😅.
I finally got to drink 😆✨✨✨
When you find a good sake 😆👍👍Yatta!
I'm on the hunt for a repeat sake 😁🍶✨✨.

Fruity with a gorgeous aroma. Sweet, juicy and a little bitter at the end. It's really tasty.
I drink Takebayashi more often at events than at home, but I never miss it.
OSAKA SAKE & FOOD EXPO 2024⑰.
This is the booth of Marumoto Sake Brewery, a sake brewery in Okayama.
The company cultivates its own rice through "San-Ou rice cultivation" (organic cultivation in which the rice is starved three times).
They also make a very sweet sake, which is my favorite, and I talked to them 3-4 times in total.

The moment I drank it, it had a sense of maturity, but it was full of sweetness and umami. When I asked him about it, he said it had been aged for about 2 years. It was still delicious 😋.
I couldn't talk much with the brewer this time, but I told him that they are promoting their products.
This Sake is sweet like syrup. It has a full and juicy mouth feel and a mild flavor of cherries. Maybe vanilla? 🤔 The finish is a little acidic which helps cleanse the pallet.

Marumoto Sake Brewery's booth.
The same people from Takashimaya and the Japanese Sake Festival were there, and when Nemuchi-san greeted them, the brewery staff seemed to remember him😊.
Sake made with organic Yamadanishiki.
It's delicious, but I can feel it's been aged for quite a while...
Did I mention it's aged for a year?
I looked up this sake and found very little information about it 🤔...
I left the booth with only this sake since I had already had many other sake at other events... 🤔...
〜Postscript
It was 2 years old! Sorry 💦.
It was recommended to me at the store😊.
Takebayashi has the image of a hiragana 4-letter brand, but it's a spring-only sake and the name "Hoshi-Oboro" is cool, so I chose to drink it w
It has a moderate umami taste with a touch of acidity and astringency, making it easy to drink overall!
I paired it with a smoked fish appetizer, and yes, it's good! 👍
I'll keep that in mind!
At a restaurant with the best fish in front of Okayama Station (No. 2).
It tastes like shochu. It is best when paired with strong-flavored fish.
It is said that it is not often sold outside Okayama.
Nice to meet you sake🍶.
The aroma is curious 😐 with a little peculiar aroma.
The taste is fruity but not refreshing and the umami of rice comes. The aftertaste leaves a sourness and an amino-type bitterness in the throat that is not alcoholic.
I'm not sure if I'm saying it myself😅.
Bottom line, I'd like to drink it after a couple of days because it feels too ready. If it were 100% sake of my choice... I would give it a 65 🙄.
This is my personal subjective opinion.

After a hard day's work, I took a break.
There is a wide variety of sake on the menu,
I'm excited 🥳.
It feels chilly today.
Let's order Chanko-nabe first 😆.
Here's the starter.
It was dry with a strong character with a tune.
It was a profound sensation.
