For the record. This is the second day of my trip to Matsue. After leaving the inn, we spent a day walking around the city, visiting Horikawa, craft beer, Matsue Castle, Yakumo-nuri, and so on.
In the evening, we had "the Root" set and Thai shabu-shabu at "the Root". The sake was Oroku. It was delicious.
It has a strong umami taste. It was as good as the dark isaki in miso, and the synergistic effect made it even tastier. According to the store owner, the number of bottles is limited to 120. It was a good match.
I found 5 * direct bottles. I have only seen it in this liquor store. I understand that it is indeed the manager of the store.
I went home and drank it deliciously. I think it has a unique and deep taste with a unique change in flavor until it is swallowed. It is a bottle, so let's drink it slowly!
Oroku Special Honjozo Nagare Direct Kumi Unfiltered Nama Sake
My first Oroku.
The aroma is like pineapple.
I wonder if it's because it's alky and has a high alcohol content. Fruity and alcoholic aroma.
The first thing you feel is the acidity. Then, sweetness, umami, and bitterness. It goes down the throat nicely. The lingering aftertaste is well-balanced and delicious.
It would be good to compare it with Urasetsu Getsuka 😆.
I feel like they bring out the best in each other 🤲.
It has a gorgeous, spicy, and acidic taste, followed by a firm rice flavor, bitterness, and astringency. It is very profound. On the other hand, it has a good sharpness, so you will never get tired of drinking it. Yamada Nishiki. Tapped cucumber and
Polishing ratio 60
Wow...it's good. More umami than dark, surprisingly light. A cool sake! It has a lingering aftertaste and is very drinkable and graceful!
