The third cup, Oroku. Personally, I have a troublesome image of this sake. I don't know about now, but I hear that it is very particular about its sales and management, and the local liquor stores are also very strict about it... So I am glad to be able to drink it at an izakaya without hesitation.
Buy at IMADEYA online.

This sake is made with natural spring water from the Chugoku Mountains. It is quite fruity and sweet! It is delicious!
You can enjoy the aroma more with a wine glass.
It was recommended to me a long time ago and I had never had it, Oroku. I bought some the other day when I was in Matsue!
It's a dry and refreshing sake, I guess.
I wonder what it is 🤔, every time I drink it, I feel sweetness and deep umami, well, I can't describe it.
Anyway, it's delicious 😋.

Gorgeous ripe banana-like aroma 🍌.
Sweet and voluptuous at first sip.
The alcohol content is 17.5%. The volume does not seem to be equal to the volume of the wine. It is deep and has a short aftertaste.
Yes, this one is delicious too 🤗.
It's mellow and refreshing and can be enjoyed on its own or with food! I'm a sucker for limited editions...😍This was my first time drinking Oroku but I've heard a lot about it and I'd like to try other types of sake again.
Purchased at Yamada, a sake shop in Shinjuku, which opened in October 2025.
I thought it was light on the palate, but the impression I got was that the umami spread quickly in my mouth, followed by a slight sourness. It is also gradually delicious.
Oroku Iyu Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake
Rated 4.4-4.5
Both koji rice and kake rice are made from Yamadanishiki produced in Higashiizumo where the brewery is located, polished to 50%, and brewed with Association No. 9 yeast.
In the mythology of Izumo no Kuni Hikari, "The moment Kuninushi Yatsukamizusinotsu no Mikoto created the nation of Japan in his own conception, he thrust out his staff and shouted, 'Oh! he cried out." The name is based on the idea of brewing sake rooted in this land where the gods gather. A deep [umami junmai daiginjo] that has undergone delicate aging. It has a complex taste with mineral notes.
Warmed sake at 46℃.
Sweet, umami, and smooth. The acidity is also moderately effective and refreshing. Warmed sake has a nice acidity and umami. The taste is mild. The convergence is also acidic and refreshing.
The 70th bottle of this year's Wang Luk Kei
This was the first time I drank one of the Wang Luk wines.
It was firm but easy to drink. Next time I'll have a bottle.
Oh, I've never seen this before! I was a little put off by the price, but...
Jacket price... 7/10
I don't need the wing icon, I prefer "Don" and "Oroku".
Ki ... 19/20
The hue is clear, the smell is lower middle, there is a faint rice smell, and there is no sign of heaviness. The acid attack on the tip of the tongue and the juicy texture.
Seung ... 19/20
Succinic acid full throttle‼️ is amazing with the taste that can be felt from the outside to the inside. The Alc numbness to the tip of the tongue shines through in the umami-centered texture.
Rolling... 14/20
I would have liked to feel the weight here, but you are still young.

The nose has a creamy aroma, but it's not aromatic enough.

The initial impact is worth a try.

It is good with vinegared dishes, and its umami is very good.
The youthfulness of the wine is still evident, especially on the back palate, and once it develops its umami nobi, it will be in a state of unrivaled quality.
I think it will be a big hit if it is stored for about 3 years.
A weekend reward for all the hard work you put in last week.
Firm umami and slightly delayed sweetness
Lingering taste in the back of the tongue and upper jaw
It has a strong presence and is honestly delicious!
