The moment you drink it, you quietly think, "Oh, this is a delicious sake.
It is a beautiful blend of the gentleness that is typical of Aozora and the strength that is typical of Omachi,
It is not flashy, but it has a strong presence.
The aroma is gentle, elegant, and sweet, reminiscent of white peaches.
The palate is silky and smooth, and the umami spreads as if it were melting into the mouth.
It is well-balanced with a gradual resonance of acidity, and a lingering aftertaste lingers on after swallowing.
Aozora usually finishes its wines lightly by adding water,
However, this Omachi is specially made as "unfiltered raw sake" and has a core flavor.
It has strength in its lightness and is well-balanced, making me want to say, "This is Japanese sake.
It can be served cold or lukewarm. It is amazing that it tastes good at any temperature.

It's depressing when the morning fortune-telling ranking is good but nothing good comes out of it. I'm a fortune teller 😁.
So I'm going home and drinking. It's a good thing that I could drink Soukuu today.
Oyamanishiki is very powerful.
I drank the supernatant first, but it took less than 0.1 second from the sweetness to the bitterness. Oh, it is strong.
Next, I flicked the bottle and drank it with the oli mixed in. Ori, isn't that a lot?
The bitterness has more depth when it is mixed.
It is very complex because it also has sweetness, but Aozora is still delicious.
Now that I am in a very good mood, I think I will get ready to watch the Hanshin game at Hamasuta tomorrow 🐯.
Good morning, Ane!
There is a fortune telling 😅
I was #1 today so let's hope it's a good one 😁✨✨.
Aozora looks delicious as always 😊
Are you watching a baseball game today ⚾.
I hope you have a refreshing day 😊
A deliciously acidic and well-balanced food sake 🍶.
I usually pass over small bottles with cloth labels because of their high price, but I bought this one because it was a 1.5 liter bottle and the pop-up said it was "great as a food sake"!
It has a gentle mouthfeel with a balance of umami acidity and bitterness. The aroma is a little ginjo with a nice, understated fragrance. It is a modern food sake with a little acidity. All the elements are nicely integrated without being too assertive.
No gassiness.
Delicious both cold and chilled. Best as a food sake!

We had a good impression of Aozora when we drank it in Osaka the year before last. There are only a few liquor stores in Tokyo that carry this sake.
I was worried about it last week and did not buy it, but I was glad to see it was still on sale. I bought it right away. The sweetness was impressive in Osaka, but this one was dry and carbonated. The sweet and sour taste spreads, and although there is some sweetness, it is delicious with a sour and bitter grapefruit-like aftertaste.
