Don't underestimate a cup of sake, but this is a "delicious" supporting role for Hanami.
The moment you take a sip, you will be struck by its fresh, cool, and slightly ginjo aroma. While it feels light, the taste is well-balanced, with sweetness, umami, and acidity spreading out. The nose has a fruity aroma reminiscent of apricots, and the fullness and richness of nigori can also be felt.
As you continue to drink, the classic dry taste also peeks out, and you will be drawn in by the changes in flavor. It is a casual yet profound sake that is perfect for picnics, cherry blossom viewing, and other outside drinking.
Purchased in Omihachiman, Shiga
Ojiro is my favorite sake, so I was greedy and bought a bottle.
We enjoy it heated on a chilly spring day.
I'm almost done with heating it up... I'm sad to see it go.
The sweet and sour flavor opens up when heated!
Oh, this is delicious.
Slightly effervescent, lightly cloudy.
It has sweetness, but the spiciness comes slowly on the back end.
It's really tasty and has a good flavor.
