Okuroku is a new series started in 2023 by Iwate Meizou, which brews Iwate Honor and other brands, as a special distributor-only product.
The concept is to use locally grown contract rice as the raw material, while sticking to the basics of sake brewing, such as the use of a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast and Yamahai sake brewing method.
It is supposed to be a food sake with a mild aroma and an excellent balance of acidity and sweetness.
The brand name comes from "Okuroku-gun," the generic name for the six counties in the region of Oshu.
The motif on the label is the Kawanishi Dainenbutsu sword dance to appease ghosts, and the toji, Kentaro Miura, is apparently a central dancer in the sword dance.
I finally got to drink Okuroku, which I have been curious about for a long time: ☺️
This is the first shibori "FIRST", the only draft sake in the Okuroku series 🍶.
It has a gentle aroma with a clear sweetness.
The texture is smooth and silky, with a skimpy sweetness.
The acidity is crisp and soft with a gentle sourness.
The overtone is gentle and sweet.
From the mid-palate, there is a flow of umami with a slightly three-dimensional feel.
The overall taste is gentle, supported by the sweetness of the rice, and the finish is gentle, with a beautiful bitter aftertaste.
Well, it is delicious. ☺️
It is a taste that makes you want to follow it, but it is a pity that it is a product only available at special dealers and not sold in the Kansai region😌.
