I forgot to take pictures yesterday.
I didn't get to check in.
I finally got my hands on a king's stipend... 👉🏻👈🏻
I don't think it's the price, but
I think it's not the price, but the taste.
The aroma is the sweet smell of fresh sake!
Some people used strawberry 🍀🍓 to describe the aroma 🍀*゚.
When you put it in your mouth, it's not sweet, but astringent, acidic and bitter in that order.
It passed through my mouth in the order of astringency, acidity, and bitterness.
I don't know because I got drunk...w

I left a third of it at room temperature (aged).
I'll warm it up and enjoy it in the winter 🍶´-

I was reminded of the deliciousness of Oroku and wanted to try more of it. I wanted to try a higher grade of sake, the nama sake, so here I go!
It's so gorgeous. It has a dense sweet aroma, almost like honey. The slightly viscous minerality gives way to a concentrated sweetness and umami, with a fine acidity and bitterness that only nama sake can bring.
It contains complexity. The somewhat sharp taste, which is neither bitter nor astringent, functions as a sharpness.
Isn't it too delicious, Oroku? Today, along with sukiyaki, it is a highly recommended combination. We thank Ginza Kimishimaya for their assistance this time. I hope there will be more stores where we can buy it in Shimane. Thank you again for the food tonight!
Aroma of strawberry jam, or maybe strawberry jam, dark aroma.
Surprisingly not the type that swells up when you include it.
It has a sweet yet tight umami flavor.
It has a clean finish, probably due to the fact that it is a honjozo.
This may be the best Oroku I've ever had.
4/5 stars for my taste.

The second bottle.
Tonight, too, at SHUWAN.
Citrusy aroma 🍊
Distinctive sweetness and umami. It spreads in the mouth 😍.
And the astringency that comes later.
Delicious 🥰.

Lunch at Yamanaka Sake store in Umeda.
I was disappointed to find that the rice balls made with my favorite sake rice were gone.
I was curious about the ultra-low temperature aging, so here it is.
I was curious about the super cold-aged sake, so I ordered this "Oroku. I have been enjoying aged sake lately, so I have high expectations for it.
The aroma of the aged sake is very pleasant.
It has a rich, smoky, deep flavor in the mouth. It also has a sweetness and a complex umami lingering taste that was pleasant.
The lady next to me ordered another bowl of rice, so I was caught up and ordered a second bowl.
