I'm so glad I bought this drink! Delicious!
Fresh out of the cellar.
The color is lightly tinted.
More gorgeous aroma than expected, banana, apple, flowers, fresh milkiness.
Taste is easy to drink. Or rather, delicious. Quiet sweetness and tartness. A little tingling. Mild texture and refreshing aftertaste. I like this. Delicious!
I'll warm it up.
Wow, it's delicious! It's beautiful!
Mellow, really mellow. And while it's beautiful, it's also full-bodied. The taste is a mixture of sweetness and sourness that spreads in the mouth, leaving behind an indescribable deliciousness.
I had never heard of this brand, but I am glad I bought it. It's different from San'in heated sake, and different from Shizuoka heated sake. Taisho no Tsuru is another one, but Okayama is amazing!
I want to know more about Okayama. Delicious!

Good evening, Tarou-san.
Okayama sake is good, isn't it?
I love Taisho no Tsuru and Sake Isshuji too.
They look great warmed up.

Okayama sake is good.
It has the depth of nostalgia to handle any temperature range. It tastes great cold, and even better heated. It is delicious cold, and even better when heated...

I get agitated when I meet a good sake from a brand I don't know. It looks great warmed up, and has the nuance of a major, high-end line, though it's subtle. Please try it!

From PrinceMichael3's comment 📝 I thought fried food would be good too 🤔 and tried it with fried horse mackerel and cod 🐟👍
So let's get started. The nose has a sweet and sour aroma with a hint of ear of rice. In the mouth, there is a hint of alcohol and the sweetness and acidity of Omachi-like rice. Above all, it has a lingering soft umami taste. ☺️
Next, fried horse mackerel and cod 🐟 with tartar and lemon 🍋. I think the fried cod is a little too light and the taste is lost in the impact of this sake. On the other hand, the fried horse mackerel has just the right amount of flavor unique to blue fish. The horse mackerel is the winner. ❗️😋
If anything, the more acidic or more umami taste would be a better match than the bland ones🙆.

At the end of the day, it's all about the booze.
I was able to drink a mouthful 🙏.
The acidity was tremendous😳.
A little bit of lactobacillus flavor.
The acidity was so strong that it left no impression on the rest of the bottle.
I've had the same sake in the past, but the hi-ire version is easier to drink. Nama tastes more complex.

Good evening bouken🍶.
The liquor store I sometimes go to had R3BY nama-shu in stock.
Reading the repo, it looks a bit like Sanko Tenpyo's Yamahai and Nama Hashiro... 🤔
How would you compare the complexity of raw to other sake?

Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo.
I don't remember the details, but it tasted so many different flavors that it's hard to describe.

For a moment I thought of Taisho no Tsuru, but unlike Sake Isshuji, it had no sweetness at all 🤔It seems like there might be something similar, but it might not be the same type.

There is very little sweetness and you can directly taste the flavor of the rice. It is a wild sake without being overdressed. To be honest, it is not suitable for aperitifs, but it is an excellent sake for in-between meals.
Pairing with Ate
Grilled sweetfish with salt
Bonito sashimi
Fried chicken
Personal preference ★★★☆☆☆☆

I bought it at a department store where the brewery was having a tasting event. It was 100% Omachi, although it was not clearly stated. The brewery is said to be the one that started the reintroduction of Omachi cultivation.
The acidity is really clear, so I served it with fried oysters and tartar sauce. Even so, it has a solid taste of Omachi + Namo yeast that does not lose out.
The acidity is very strong, like yogurt, but you can easily pick up the ginjo aroma if you are aware of it. However, the ginjo aroma is not strong and is slightly like banana and green bamboo.
Although it is a junmai ginjo, it has won a gold medal for heated sake, so we tried heating it to lukewarm. The acidity from the sake's origins weakened and the sweetness of the junmai and the omachi flavor came to the fore. The ginjo aroma has completely disappeared. The bitterness has also appeared, so it would be better to warm it up to very lukewarm.
In conclusion, it would be well-balanced to drink it at around 12 degrees.
