Okuni Junmai Ginjo Kotani-Nishiki 720ml
Rice used: Shirakaba-Nishiki from Kotani
Rice polishing ratio 59
Alcohol 15%.
Purchased at Ishikawa Shoten in Kotani Village. It is a liquor store with a relaxed atmosphere. It is called Kotani Nishiki because it is made from rice grown in the terraced rice fields of Kotani Village.
I have seen comments that it is light and dry, but compared to other Okuni's, I would classify it as sweet.
Lately I am getting addicted to this mild sweetness 😄.
I'm not sure if I'm a fan of this kind of sake, but I've never heard of it before 😃.

Summer drinking season already?
I haven't even put the heaters away yet...
Citrusy lemony acidity typical of summer sake
Is it too early in the season? Taste like it's still early in the season...
A little sweet and sour later on...
It does not have the richness and flavor typical of Hokian Daigoku, but is more like a summer sake.
But it is delicious because it is not overly sour.
Hokuan Okuni Next Batter Junmai Ginjo-Ginjo-Harajyunshu, stored in snow 720m
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol 14%.
This is the one we brought to Miyajima-san last autumn, as we found a lot of them lined up on his counter.
It was stored in snow in 2023 and shipped from the brewery in September 2024. After that, it was stored at home.
It has a good sense of maturity. It is not colored, but the sweetness and acidity have increased, and it is so rich that it is hard to believe that it is 14 degrees.
Sake changes in many ways.
I am looking forward to seeing how this year's next batter will turn out 😋.
Good evening, @Mizuhashi 😃
Oh! I have a feeling you're getting much closer to the Dodgers 😅I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what the next batter's circle will be this year 😄!
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌇.
Recently, I personally think that the line from Daishinshu to Daisekkei, Iraka, and Kitaan-Daikoku in the Hakuba area will be hot in the future 😁.
Thank you for your post! I thought it was inspired by Shugo Maki of the Bay Stars (from Nakano City) because of the blue color, but it turned out to be the LA logo (^_^;)
Hello, Aura of Hama 😃.
I didn't see the 2023 sake uniforms in LA ⚾️
Now we have something different to look forward to this year to see what the uniforms are like 😄
Long time no update....
Since June, I have been in the midst of my work and the contents of the system have been changing every few months....
Thanks to this, I have been drinking more and more....
Here is the memorandum of the delicious alcoholic beverages I enjoyed.
I did not participate in the drinking tour, but I bought a bottle of sake to compare at home.
It was a stable Ookuni.
