I have been to Shimane Prefecture many times, but this is the first time I have tasted this sake. 2021 length diameter, 17.5 alcohol by volume, it was not fruity or light, but delicious and made me think this is Japanese sake. It made me want to visit Shimane Prefecture.
I overheard a report that there are many core fans, so I bought a bottle to try it out.
I have had Oroku before, but how about this one?
From the smell, it is already a classic.
I can feel the aroma of grains.
The taste is indeed classic dry, but it is not difficult to drink.
The smooth mouthfeel, mellow flavor, and strong bitterness make for a sharp finish.
If I were to drink it, I would say it is a food sake.
It is understandable that there are people who like it.
It is a bit schwiffy and has a grapefruit aroma, but leaves a bitter taste that clings a bit to the tongue.
One of the May hanpukai from Sumino Sake Shop.
I thought it was Oroku from its appearance, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Jogei.
I still don't know the difference between Oroku and Jogi label, but it was grapefruity and tasty anyway, so that's good👍.
There are still many varieties of this brand 💨.
but I'm concerned that it's a little expensive due to refrigerated storage costs💦.

Morning Drinking Raku Sake Corner Report 2️⃣
The second drink was Oroku, not Jogei.
I thought it was Oroku on the label and drank it halfway through.
Unlike the image, it is dry and has a mineral taste, but it goes down well.
I thought Jouki sounded like a person's name, but it turned out to be the toji's name💦.
Sumino's label on the back is perfect ✨.
It's very drinkable, ah.
It's another elusive taste that I can't quite grasp, sweet, spicy, and acidic, but it's dark and robust. And I don't know if "beautiful" is the right word to describe it, that's about all I can say with my vocabulary, but, well, it tastes like that.
So if I don't restrain myself, I drink more and more.
I see, so this is the swamp.
Degree of liking 9/10
Postscript after 4 days
From the 2nd day, the mysterious taste changed to a dry one, and it tasted dry after 4 days (kept in ice temperature). The range and speed of the taste change are large in the Ohroku category, and I think you can enjoy the unique taste of Ohroku if you drink it up as soon as you open the bottle.
What happens when "blue" is added?
Jacket value... 6/10.
I think it goes better with the black bottle.
Ki ... 13/20
The color is that of old sake, as you can see from the appearance, and the smell is mainly old sake, but it also has a strange freshness.
Sei... 11/20
It has a lightness like a summer sake.
The Alc numbness and odor on the tongue like old sake is satisfying, but the question of the flavor remains.
It is not like it would be if the sweetness and flavor did not blow up here.
Turning... 12/20
It is more acidic than astringent. The aroma is heavy, but you can feel the acidity.
Yui ... 16/20
It is a summer sake, but summer sake is not my cup of tea.
COSPA ... 4/10
The cost of keeping it refrigerated may be a bottleneck.
The cost of maintaining the refrigeration temperature may be a bottleneck.

I should have known that the clear bottle was in danger.
The aftertaste is fuller and tastier at higher temperatures, so there is no need to be concerned about storage temperature.
I was at a sake bar in Akabane once and asked for a dry, clear recommendation!
I remember it was delicious, so I'm glad!
The taste is clean and clear!
You can also taste the umami of the rice.
The package is very cool 😎.
The taste is not overshadowed by the cool packaging!
