It's been a while since I've had a sake party🍶 in town with my colleagues from work.
We brought 4 bottles today✨.
After a toast with beer to start off 🍻, we started with the first bottle: ‼️
We were so excited about the first bottle... 🤣.
This is one of the 600 limited bottles of the aged old sparkling sake (💁) from Makino Brewery, the brewer of Macho💪, which is a fantastic prototype 🥰.
The name...DEAD STOCK☠️
The aroma was not that strong... but when poured into a boar cup, it was 🫧sizzling🫧 ✨.
We all toasted again and poured it down in one gulp... and at the same time we felt happy 😊🎉.
The sweetness was like a cross between an apple and a lemon 🍎, and the pizzazz that popped in my mouth....
The words that came out unintentionally were... "Mmmmmm!
I didn't feel any of the smokiness of the old wine...it was gone in no time at all 🤣.
Compared to the Masumi Sparkling I had before, this one was sweeter and more reminiscent of a slightly carbonated juice 🍹. 🙂↕️
I wonder when I will come across it again...
Commemorative 600th check-in: 🙇♀️
After half a year of neglecting to post, I finally completed it until mid-August.
This is the oldest sake brewery in Gunma Izumi, Makino Shuzo Ohai....
I haven't seen Mr. Makino recently...
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Mamo: 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I've never had a "big sake" 💦 interesting that even the oldest one in Gunma is made like Macho✨.
It's amazing that you can remember it from 6 months ago! 👍
Pon.
Thank you for your message 😭
I think the next year's Taiga Drama will feature a person from the area where Makino Brewery is located, so I think the area will be a little more exciting....
Hello, Momo-san!
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins 🎉.
I'd like to try some of the sake from Gunma Prefecture, as I don't often come across it 😋.
I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts 🎵.
Have a great sake life!
ma-ki.
Thank you 😭
I always appreciate your messages ♪
I have a drinking party today and plan to consume a lot of sake....... Please keep in touch with me 🙇♂️
Good evening, Mr. Mamo!
I know I'm late, but congratulations on your 600 check-ins✅㊗️🎉!
I didn't know that Ohibai-san had been replaced ❗️ I want to support breweries that are challenging themselves 📣I will take the initiative to drink it when I see it ❗️
Hiro-san.
Thank you for your message 🙇♀️
Please support us 📣.
I think it's really good not only to drink but also to learn more about the breweries and their ideas... Please let me know if you have any recommendations for breweries and sake. 🙇♀️
Congratulations on your 600 check-in✅, Momo✅㊗️🎊
I heard that "Ohibai" is very good 😋.
Actually, my local liquor store sells it, but I always put it off because I thought I could buy it anytime 😅I'll take you next time 😃.
Hi Mamo 😃
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins🎊㊗️
I've only had Macho💪 sake from Makino-san, so I will try it again 😋.
I hope you continue to enjoy good sake👍.
Jay & Nobby.
Thank you for your message 🙏.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of sake I can find next month as I have a business trip away from home....
I will try my best to take care of my health to reach the next 700.......
Good day!
Here is today!
MACHO💪.
I've had a few bottles of Ohibai's Four Seasons series, but maybe I haven't had MACHO! So I bought it 😎.
My husband said he's sure he's bought it before, but he's not a sake drinker! But I haven't given it to Sake-no-wa...,
It's a mystery, but I'll take it! 🐰
Yes it's delicious 🥰.
Banana and juicy 🥰.
I think I've had it before 🐵 lol
But I'll pretend it's my first time drinking it!
I'll buy another one ✌️
Good evening, Jun-san!
I was wondering whether I should buy "Oubai" at Sake Senan when I visited there the other day 🤣.
I think the feeling that I've had "Oibai" before must be due to the influence of [bouken]'s old avatar: ✨️
Hi Jive, good evening ☺️
It's always about my second choice because it's always available on the water 🤣I'm glad I tried it for the first time 🥰.
I'm glad it was my first time ! I have a feeling of deja vu, not only because I saw it in a liquor store, but also because bouken! 🤣
Melon aroma and slight effervescence
Balance of sweet and spicy 👌
Second day, third day...
I'm getting sweeter and sweeter with each passing day 👍
I think it's because the carbonation is lost, but the taste changes 👍
7.5
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 ★★★☆☆☆☆
