My Hall of Fame Oroku.
It smells good when you open the bottle. When you drink it, it tastes good!
But actually, I am not sure what makes it taste so good.
The taste of sake is not just a simple sweet, spicy, sour, and bitter one. There must be a lot more to it than that, but I can't figure it out.
I don't think this Ohsupuku Hachimaru is a clear type. Then I realized something. I noticed that Hachimaru is not a clear type of sake.
I wonder if the Hachimaru series is made tastier by leaving just a little bit of the miscellaneous flavor.
In other words, the Oroku Hachimaru is made tastier by mixing diluted fart with it!
(Sorry, kura. (Sorry, I'm Jordan.).

Purchased at Karuizawa Inamaya during a light snowfall. The following is the conversation at the time of purchase: "How long until you get home? About an hour." "It must be kept at a low temperature. Drink it immediately after opening." "Okanashita, please carry it in a cooler box.
And my impression after drinking it...it is right in the middle of classic and modern, the freshness is...well...perfect...it is too well-balanced even if it is stored well. I thought this encounter might be a little incidental.
Overall 9 (out of 10)
This is my first sake from Shimane 🍶.
According to the website, no filtration, at most one time fire-fermentation, stored at -5℃ (distributors are also required to keep the temperature at -5℃😳), no blending, no sales except to distributors.
We always want to be a sake with the style of a champion.
This is a very hard-core sake brewery!
Delicious 😋.
Dry sake with bitterness as the main taste: ❗️ hard-core ‼️
No sweet and tasty elements at all: ❗️
As a lover of sweet and tasty sake, this should not be my favorite flavor,
But for some reason, I don't find it to be my weak point at all.
It is a strange taste that makes you keep drinking it as if you were bowing down before the king.
It is indeed a sake from Shimane, the land of the gods 😐.
It's hard to describe, but it's delicious 😋.
I served it chilled.
The aroma is as follows.
-Aroma: Pungent and pungent
-Bitter taste in the nose.

A new sensation! It looks hot, not spicy, not sweet. The aroma reveals that it is by bitterness and minerality. And it has a sharpness that you don't even notice! Maybe that's why it is 17.5 degrees Celsius, but it's a strange sensation to be able to drink it smoothly. A surprising sake!
Good morning, shinsaku3 & Pekho 😃.
Our first Shimane sake was a small bottle of Ohroku from here 😌I liked it sweet at the time 😋 but this one reminded me of my love for dry 😚.
Good morning, shinsakud3 and Pekho!
I think the first Shimane sake would be "Oroku", I was the same 😁.
I wonder if it's because it's a place where the gods gather, so it's mainly for local consumption and there's not much of it in circulation 🤔.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😃.
So your first visit to Shimane was to Oroku 😃.
We are starting to come across a lot of good dry sake lately too,
So there's a good chance you'll like the dry one too 😅.
Good evening, Jive 😃.
I see your first Shimane was Oroku, Jive-san 😃.
This austere atmosphere, dry, name with a king, the land where the gods gather.
I was a little nervous 😅 but it was delicious 😋.
On the anniversary of my father's death, I drank Oroku from Shimane Prefecture, his birthplace. The Hachimaru 2021 brewed with 80% polished rice was my favorite (I want to drink it again). The nigori took a while to degas, but it was fresh and refreshing. The Cho Oroku 2021 Brewing was delicious, but when I compared the two, my favorite was the Hachimaru. Comparing the two makes the difference clear and will be helpful for my next purchase.
Good evening, Cherry 😃.
I'd like to drink a sake that has a connection with your father on the anniversary of his death 🥹.
I've only had Oroku once before at Sandesi 😅I'd like to drink it at home since it's sold at a liquor store near me 🤗.
Shimane Prefecture Oroku Shuzo Oroku Ya◯
We have always been interested in "Ya◯".
This time it was R3 brewed.
The aroma is fruity but mild.
The mouthfeel is fresh and gassy.
After that, a beautiful acidity that does not make you feel the low whiteness follows.
It was a powerful sake that did not seem to be made with 80% polished rice.
Oroku Hachimaru
Daigo Kanazawa, all-you-can-drink excellent sake course.
The next one was Oroku.
5 stars means it's straight kumi. 91/150 and I was the only one who was pleased with the rarity 😭This was around an hour after the party started.
