For the scapula peeling.
I bought something called a scapula pillow 😁.
Of all the drinks I've had this year
This is one of my favorite brands this year.
Freshly pressed Okutanba 😆.
How could I not buy it?
It's so fresh and tangy 😆.
And sharp✨
Okutamba is delicious!
Manachie-san Good morning 😁I actually went there with the plan to buy the wooden ticket, first pressing and active nigori, but the wooden ticket was not in stock yet, so I could not buy only the wooden ticket. 😮💨 I would like to try the wooden ticket! I'd love to try some 😆It looks like there's only one store selling it in Fukuoka too!
Ane, good morning to you 😁 What four bottles of rare wooden tags! And that's just one bottle! That's amazing! I love it 🌈Oh to buy up all the rare sake!
Someone is making it more and more difficult to buy 🤣🤣.
Okutamba, Junmai Yamadanishiki
Rating 4.5
(Warmed sake) Set at 45°C.
Sake quality: junmai, sake rice: Yamadanishiki, nihonshudo: +3, alcohol content: 16%, rice polishing ratio: 80
Junmai sake brewed in the 2023 brewing year and matured in the brewery. Yamadanishiki rice grown by natural farming is used for the sake rice, and Kyokai No. 7 yeast is used for the yeast. This dry sake has a grain aroma and a fluffy flavor developed by aging, and is sharp and crisp. It can be served at various temperatures from cold to warmed sake.
In Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture, where I was on a business trip, I went to Liquorland Hikamiya in search of Okutamba.
I found it. I was curious about this sake!
It is brewed in a wooden cask and aged for 2.5 years in the tunnels of Sanpo Dam, where the temperature is constant throughout the year, and the sake rice used is Hyogo Sake 85, a next generation sake rice produced in Hyogo Prefecture ✨!
Pouring it into a glass, I thought, "What's that? It was thicker than the other two. I had the sensation that it was thickening.
The color is also yellowish, what a delicious color 🤤.
The aroma is not fruity, but has a sense of maturity. And yet the aroma is moist and calm.
Is it because of the aging process? The acidity characteristic of the sake's traditional sake yeast yeast is also mild.
The overall flavor is unexpectedly refreshing!
Slightly dry and crisp, it seems to go well with fish dishes.
Good morning, yoyoyo 😃.
A very atmospheric bottle 😌It's nice to meet a sake you've been curious about 😊.
I'm curious about your refreshing and crisp aged sake 🍶 😋.
Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments! Okutanba is one of my favorite local sake drinks✨It was a wonderful encounter with a great bottle! I thought it would have a more robust flavor, but it caught me by surprise: ☺️
#Drinking at home
The taste is quite subdued at first, then mild and mellow. It finishes with a tangy finish.
It has a deep and reserved taste just like the jacket says, but I'd like to see a little more umami or something.
It might be better if it were heated up.
Postscript
When heated, it did not turn into a beer, but it was still tasty.
I bought it at the brewery and opened it after storing it for a while 🍶I thought it was dry but had a strong flavor. I would like to buy it again because it is cosy 😊.
HYOGO SAKE EXPO 2024 Report 1📝.
On this day, I was having a lunchtime drink in Sannomiya with my friend, and we decided to go to the second restaurant.
First, we decided to try Hyogo Sake 85 from Okutanba.
It had a strong graininess and a bitter aftertaste.
I thought it was light for Okutamba according to everyone's reviews, but I was surprised to find it quite peculiar 👀.
I think it was probably just a twinge.
Good evening, Mr. Yoohee.
Oh, Okutamba may have a lot of peculiar taste 💦.
I've tried a lot of them, but I'm not into them, so I'm thinking of avoiding them 🙄.
Chitose might be better even if it's from the same brewery🤔.
Good evening, bouken. ⭐︎
I'm sure it would be delicious if it were heated up 💡.
But this one clearly tasted like it had been badly preserved. I was like, "Oh, no!
Chitose seems to be easy to drink so I will try it next time👍.
Promises are not meant to be kept.
I think it's not about keeping promises, but about making them 😅.
Okutanba summer sake😆
I was caught off guard and it blew up in seconds 🤣.
It's dry and sharp.
It's so delicious ✨👍
No disappointment in Okutanba!
