Hikaru-kun's restaurant third drink
This is the first time to drink "super" Ohroku!
Only 210 bottles of this luxurious sake are available in a four-pack!
Juicy, sweet and sour!
It has a fresh feeling even though it is supposed to be kept for a long time.
Heavy acidity and a clean finish.
Enjoy it while listening to Hikaru-kun and his son's story.
After this, we topped it off with a glass of Morishima and ended our holiday with a heavy hangover the next day...

I forgot to take pictures yesterday.
I didn't get to check in.
I finally got my hands on a king's stipend... 👉🏻👈🏻
I don't think it's the price, but
I think it's not the price, but the taste.
The aroma is the sweet smell of fresh sake!
Some people used strawberry 🍀🍓 to describe the aroma 🍀*゚.
When you put it in your mouth, it's not sweet, but astringent, acidic and bitter in that order.
It passed through my mouth in the order of astringency, acidity, and bitterness.
I don't know because I got drunk...w

I left a third of it at room temperature (aged).
I'll warm it up and enjoy it in the winter 🍶´-

I was reminded of the deliciousness of Oroku and wanted to try more of it. I wanted to try a higher grade of sake, the nama sake, so here I go!
It's so gorgeous. It has a dense sweet aroma, almost like honey. The slightly viscous minerality gives way to a concentrated sweetness and umami, with a fine acidity and bitterness that only nama sake can bring.
It contains complexity. The somewhat sharp taste, which is neither bitter nor astringent, functions as a sharpness.
Isn't it too delicious, Oroku? Today, along with sukiyaki, it is a highly recommended combination. We thank Ginza Kimishimaya for their assistance this time. I hope there will be more stores where we can buy it in Shimane. Thank you again for the food tonight!
Aroma of strawberry jam, or maybe strawberry jam, dark aroma.
Surprisingly not the type that swells up when you include it.
It has a sweet yet tight umami flavor.
It has a clean finish, probably due to the fact that it is a honjozo.
This may be the best Oroku I've ever had.
4/5 stars for my taste.

The second bottle.
Tonight, too, at SHUWAN.
Citrusy aroma 🍊
Distinctive sweetness and umami. It spreads in the mouth 😍.
And the astringency that comes later.
Delicious 🥰.
