This is one that I had been laying in the fridge, thinking I had to drink it soon.
It is fresh, fruity, and sharp,
It has a clear taste and is delicious.
I drank Chitose from the same brewery about 2 years ago, but it's been 4 years since I've had Okutanba itself.
Hyogo Sake85 is a series of sake made with Hyogo's next generation sake rice called "Eighty-Five". The next generation rice was born 39 years ago, which is the same age as myself.
I bought it together with 8-year-old Ichinokura at Ikoma Sake Shop.
It's rare to find a kijoshu that is a nama yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast.
I thought it was rare to find a kijoshu that was a "kinohashimoto" sake 💦.
The palate is refreshing, but soon after the rich ripe fruit-like sweetness bursts forth. However, it is relatively easy to drink, and not as harsh as most kijo-shu. I'm getting interested in sherry cask too.
The sweetness is a bit like the URAZATO PROTOTYPE 4 I had the other day. It's like a darker version of URAZATO PROTOTYPE 4.
It's one of the best kijo sake I've ever had.
It's a kijoshu, but the official website says it's a junmai ginjo.
After a few days, it starts to get banana-like.
Hello, bouken 🐦!
A kijoshu with a raw yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast! I love Yonotori so I'm so caught up 😁It might take me another 2 years, but I'd love to drink it if I find it ❣️Ikoma, you put some rare ones 😳.
Good evening, Ponchan 😃.
Perverted specs! I bought it thinking that it was a "perverted specs" but later I realized that there is also a Yonotori 🤣.
You can't buy Yonotori very often these days 🤔.
I'm glad to know that not many stores in Hyogo carry Okutanba 😌.
No, this is classy too.
It's the first sake I've ever encountered.
I drank it while savoring it, thinking it was delicious!
I saw information that it is at its best around the beginning of the year, so I wonder if it would be different if I drank it at that time of the year.

Okutamba Natural Sake -Ameshu
Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake
Organic Omachi from Bicchu Kurashiki Yamada Farm
60% 15° 24/3 A
Tanba City, Hyogo

Soft aroma and elegant mouthfeel.
Although it is 15%, it has a good umami taste as it is a draft sake.
If I had to say something, I would say it could be a little more powerful.
A side note: Recently, low-alcohol (low alcohol content) sake has been on the rise, but I wonder if there is still a lot of demand for such sake.
Of course, there are some good low-alcohol sake, but there are also sake brands and product names that have become completely different from their predecessors, even though they are still called sake....
I suppose the purpose is to increase the number of new sake fans, but we also have to be careful not to lose the existing fans.
Japanese sake
Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio: 50
Alcohol content: 16%.
I bought it because one of the few Okutanba drinkers, haniwa56, said it was delicious. This sake is brewed by Mr. Takuo Aoki, a toji (master brewer) who grows his own sake rice.
It is delicious.
I thought it was a typical sake when drunk before a meal, but when drunk during a meal it was sweet, and when drunk after a meal it was crisp, which I thought was characteristic of Okutamba. Good luck to the Tamba Toji!
I can't help reading Taku as "Suguru" if you are a baseball fan 😅 even if you are a Hanshin fan.
I'm going to see my first farm game tomorrow. I'm surprised that it's so much smaller than the first team!
Good evening, Ane-san ^_^
You are a "monster", Mr. Taku Egawa, aren't you?
The taste of sake changes depending on the situation in which you drink it👍
I've been drinking Ichimonji sake lately, so I'd like to try this one too 😊.
Hi Ane. I was happy to see your comment about Takumami.
I hope you will continue to make delicious sake.
I also went to see a farm game at Koshien the other day. It was great to be able to see the game from a seat that I normally can't afford.
Good morning, Manta 😁.
I have a strong impression of Genichiro Takahashi and his show where he just keeps losing at horse races (who knows 🤣).
I'm sure the taste will be different depending on your physical condition and basically I want to make sure you are fully prepared 😊.
Good morning, haniwa56 😃.
I'm glad you told me about it because when I look at the online store lineup, I don't see it in the ICHIOKO section ☺️ I still have the wooden tag left.
I like the farm in Koshien 🐯 best!
Purchased at the Yamana Sake Brewery Festival. It is dry, aromatic, sharp and delicious. It is a sake that goes well with Japanese food. I wonder if I will be able to find it again next year!
