Oroku Five Star
Dry delicious! I'm going to go to John Cavilla's! and John Kabira comes out. The last taste is bitterness and sourness! I can't get enough of it! The strength of the acidity! The king of dry acidity. Classic acidity. Sourness that picks up later. Silver in aroma. 90 points.

The complex sweetness finishes with a distinctive bitterness.
The sake has a complex sweetness and a unique bitterness.
White smoke rises with a powerful sound when the bottle is opened.
The slight air bubbles show the fermentation power of the wine.

The rice flavor and sweetness are strong, but the water used for brewing is delicious, so it goes in easily.
But there is a sharpness at the end.
I like it. I want to drink it again.
2015 Hachimaru Nao Kumi Yamadanishiki 80% Alcohol 17.5
Hachimaru's deliciousness is there, a little acidity, and it's hard to believe this sake is 10 years old. With dried fish and gyarabuki, it is also delicious.
I want to go to Shimane Prefecture this summer and have a drink with shijimi clam steamed with sake and Oroku!
I was about to finally buy my longed-for "Ii Yu" when I found this limited-edition shipment.
I selected this one because it was also my destiny!
When I opened the bottle and poured it, I could smell the aroma of nuts, chestnuts, butter, and other aromas.
The palate is smooth with an oily feel and a bit gassy.
The palate is full of colorful and rich flavors reminiscent of chestnuts, nuts, brown sugar, and butter!
The sweet, spicy, acidic astringency is also balled up and deep.
However, it has a mineral brightness and smoothness, so after the explosion of deliciousness, it converges and disappears in a precise and beautiful taste ✨.
I was smitten with a worldview that was deeper than I had imagined 😋.
Personally, I was more captivated than when I drank the ⭐5 series...!
For home drinking
I bought this wine because I heard it was dry, but it has a little sweetness.
It has been aged for 4 years so it has a strong flavor and goes well with all kinds of food!
Very tasty!
