Macho acidity
Sweet and sour aroma, smooth attack. The taste is macho, sweet and tasty. It goes in smoothly and has a good sharpness.
It's a little strange. I was reminded 😅.
So I went with the soft simmered octopus recommended by the staff. I enjoyed it to a macho degree 💪.
It is a chic series of Oubai, and is said to be made from old-style sake yeast.
Chilled.
The aroma is clean and banana-like. It has a gentle carbonation that caresses the palate and a mild sweetness. The deep and lingering acidity overlaps with it, which I like very much.
It goes well with food. Today, I had stewed chicken wings and radish.
If I open the fridge for sake and this is sitting there... I can't stand it even mid-week 😓.
Our macho💪 history started here! LOL 😆
That's the MACHO gorilla🦍 in the large sake cup
...but the last time I drank it for the first time, it was a draft sake...so technically, this hi-iri🔥 is my first time drinking it🤤.
When I opened the bottle, the aroma wasn't that great 🤔, but when I poured it into a glass ✨, it smelled like a faint apple ✨.
Then, I will take a sip 😋.
From the apple-like 🍎 sweetness, to the miscellaneous taste due to the low milling 🌾? Bitterness? It's a bit complex, but... you can feel the robust flavor from the moment you put it in your mouth to the moment you swallow it.
I personally prefer the Gorilla Sake, which I drank for the first time, but this one has a mild taste that can be drunk peacefully 😊.
The complex aftertaste slowly fades away...very pleasant 🙂↕️
If I were to use an analogy... a freshly opened soda is like a gorilla fresh 🫧, and a gorilla fire 🔥 with no carbonation but a deep flavor 😌.
If you're not careful, you'll run out if you drink it in small doses😅.
If you've never had it, you're in for a treat!
If you have never had it, please visit ‼️
It has a nice fruity flavor with a strong punch 😁.
Day 2🗒️
More flavor and before you know it, it's empty 😨.
Quirky... but addictive taste✨
The last raw 🦍 was so good that... I didn't hesitate to buy the fire-roasted 🦍 immediately 🍶.
The difference is obvious 😳
No freshness 😆.
It has a thicker texture and a little bit of a tangy taste......brown rice 🌾.
What's amazing is that it's so peculiar and assertive, yet persistent in its pull 0️⃣✨
It's a quiet drink among the Macho series so far, but you can never be too careful 🤣.
I'll drink it over the course of a week or so 😤.
Day 4 of the series...
I feel like I'm getting more relaxed as the days go by 🤔.
Purchased at usual liquor store.
Gorimacho!
The aroma is subdued and the taste is a bit lighter than the other large cups I've had.
The aftertaste is almost bitter, with a simple hint of rice-like sweetness.
It is 90% polished rice, but there is a nice complexity to the so-called miscellaneous flavors.
Alcohol 15%.
Rice Polishing Ratio 90
Color: clear with yellowish tint
Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆
I had a drink a while ago and... my memory 🥹.
Speaking of Macho💪, the raw 🦍 was outstandingly delicious 🤔, but I remember feeling this one was a concept close to that 🦍.
It has the cleanness of Yamada Nishiki but with a nice tangy taste to match ✨.
This year, I'm talking about the macho chase, so the waitresses have it too 💁♂️ lol
Thank you so much 😁.
Strong melon aroma!
The mouthfeel is also well structured, though,
The mouthfeel is well structured, yet well-balanced with a slight effervescence and beautiful acidity.
It's robust enough to be drunk on its own, so it would go well with peppery meats rather than refined Japanese food!
Sake served by the master (^^)
The oldest sake brewery in Gunma Prefecture
Makino Sake Brewery Ohaihai MACHO❣️
The brewery is the birthplace of Oguri Uenosuke, the main character in the next year's Taiga Drama.
It's a delicious sake with a nice shwashy taste 🍶.
Nice!
