I went on a family vacation to a hotel in Oita that offers all-inclusive jibs.
The local Oita sake that was served there was
Yatsuka nigori sake
I had to have it because there was no way I could not drink it.
I looked in the fridge and found another bottle with the top clear liquid and wanted to compare them, but there was still more than half of a bottle left, so I couldn't... (lol)
(lol)... The staff served it to us mixed in front of us!
Then, let's have some 🍶!
The aroma was not so strong.
When you put it in your mouth, it is very smooth and sweet, and right after that comes the pungent spiciness.
It was like that from start to finish.
It was delicious as a food wine.
It was a happy time with delicious sake and Oita cuisine.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😀
It was so much fun! That's really what it's all about ✨It's just a shame that we would have tasted more of it if we didn't have our stomach limit 😢.
I bought this second bottle of sake at a train station in Oita, where I stopped during my trip.
It is characterized by a gorgeous aroma that spreads as soon as the cork is opened, and has a sweet, clear taste.
The aroma that escapes through the nose is pleasant and easy to drink, yet it has a strong presence.
It is versatile enough to be enjoyed with a meal or on its own.
Second souvenir from Yufuin trip🤗.
I found it crisp, refreshing and easy to drink.
It was the kind of sake that you would drink it all at once without disturbing the food, or if you wanted, you would eat too much and drink it all at once because it didn't disturb the food 😅.
Fugu Restaurant Debut: ✨️
This time, I was on the entertaining side, so I ordered while considering the pairing with the food.
The fugu was darker than I expected, so I chose a sake from the prefecture with a bit of sharpness.
It is a light sake with just the right amount of sweetness and sharpness.
Fugu sashimi as a side dish!
Local sake at a hot spring ryokan in Oita. It was hard to tell because I was drunk, but it was thick, slightly dry, and left a strong aftertaste. But it is easy to drink and delicious.
Mild and mellow with a strong flavor, perhaps because it is nigori sake.
The taste is crisp and dry. The taste is crisp and dry, followed by a hint of sweetness from the rice.
The alcohol taste is a little strong.

Alcoholic Beverage 15%.
A very milky nigori sake!
It's fairly sweet, but there's no acidity and it's very refreshing.
It tastes great when heated!
4.0 stars
I got it on a trip to Okinawa last year!
I had bought "Yatsuka" before, but I had never had nigori type before, so I brought it back from Okinawa and saved it 👍.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was of cemedine and alcohol.
The mouthfeel is moist and the syrupy, dark sweetness is blindingly sweet.
It tastes similar to medicine syrup or shaved ice syrup. However, it is not sticky, and the sharpness of the brewer's alcohol rounds it out nicely.
When stirred, the sweetness and cemedine taste is subdued and a bit silky. Instead, the crispness of the spicy acidity increases its presence. It's a sweet-sour crisp taste in the Yogurina or Pilkulu family ✨.
Traveled to Okinawa almost exactly one year ago.
Time flies. 🏝️
Sweet, mildly acidic, clear lactic acid beverage. The aroma is like vanilla yogurt. It is a uniquely delicious sake that is clear and free of cloying flavors, while the umami of the rice can also be felt.
