Today's sake is a little bit unusual - it's from Shimane Prefecture, called "Oroku" 🤗Kanji is so hard to read!
I know the name of this sake, but it's been on my list to try someday. ☺️
The first aroma is gentle and reserved, but that impression changes completely when it hits the palate! The rich umami and acidity spread out in a blur! While the alcohol content of 17.5 can be felt, the lingering aftertaste is surprisingly beautifully clean... I was surprised... It was different from other sake I have ever had, and I felt I caught a glimpse of the true essence of sake backed by the solid popularity of the brand!
Thank you for the sake!
Wakata, nice to meet you and thank you for your comment 😊I didn't expect to get 5 stars for my first king's stipend, which is fortuitous 🤗I'm sure the other flavors must be delicious as well, judging from the perfection of this one 😆.
Super Oroku and Nigori Oroku
It was quite dry, and I felt a little short of flavor since I had been drinking umami-filled drinks recently.
I guess this one is delicious in its own way, though.
After drinking Oroku once before, I got addicted to it soberly and repeated 😃.
It's sweet and round, which makes it easy to drink, and dry and refreshing, which makes it easy to drink⁉︎🐈.
It makes me wonder‼️😌
It's crisp and classic when opened, but it's also addictive in the way it gradually transforms into a modern wine over time! 🦔✨✨
The other place where you can really feel the faintest hint of gas is also a personal ⭕️ 🙌✨
