Shimomura Shuzoten, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture Okuharima Yamahai Junmai Namaishu 100% Hyogo Yume Nishiki
This is a famous brand of Nada sake, purchased from the brewery. The store owner chose this bottle as one of the most satisfying and easy-to-drink recommended.
It is a dry, firm Junmai sake with a local character.
Yamahai Yamadanishiki from Okuharima.
I had a drink at Ginza Kimishimaya because they were serving an aged Okuharima sake (leftover?). I have drunk it 🍶.
The first aroma is of steamed rice with a hint of mirin (sweet sake).
When you put it in your mouth, it has a hint of sweetness and plenty of matured umami.
It is dry and has a clear taste for an 80% polished sake.
Except for the mirin flavor in the first sip, I didn't notice any other peculiarities.
I think it would be better if it were warmed up 🤔.
It was delicious 🍶.
After working in Takatsuki, I usually go to Tenjin no Yu (hot spring) and then go for a drink in front of the station 💃This time I went to "Hazuma" which specializes in horse meat 😋😋 and had horse sashimi and grilled horse meat after the ponzu (vinegar and beer 🍻) ❤They asked me to choose a drink from the restaurant's Instagram photos so I had Okuharima after watching 👍The flavor of Okuharima is better when it is at room temperature while the meat is cooking than when it is fresh from the refrigerator. The flavor of the meat was more intense and tasty when it was at room temperature while it was being grilled than when it was fresh from the fridge 👍The alternation of the spicy sake and the horse meat made my mouth happy 😋.
Good morning, pyonpyon ☀I see there is a restaurant in Takatsuki that specializes in horse meat 🐴I want to go there so bad! And you're absolutely right that it's paired with Okuharima 😍the rest of the sake lineup is good too 😊.
Hi Hirupeko 👋😃I was wondering if horse meat is shochu 😋 but I don't know much about shochu so I guess I could have used sake 😋 lukewarm 👍🐴 Horse meat is healthy and delicious 😆.
Good evening, pyonpyon 🌛.
Wow that looks so delicious 😁.
I don't need to tell you that horse sashimi with a lot of fat and sinewy meat, but yakiniku is very rare 😲.
This looks like it would go great with "Okuharima", I'm getting hungry!
Good evening kan, good evening 😃😃 I know what you mean ❗👍we are also 🐴related so it's hard to say it's good 😅but it was good 😅and I'm thankful to be able to enjoy it ❤.
Good evening, pyonpyon😃.
We have lean horse sashimi with spicy miso 😋 but I'd like to try some with sashi and grilled 🥹 sake 🍶 and horse meat is great 😍.
Jay & Nobby, good evening 🌙😃😃 spicy miso ❗I've never heard of that before😲I thought sweet soy sauce with garlic and ginger ❗Shochu is probably the way to go, but sake would also work 😆💕Please try the grilled 🐴 horse too!
Okuharima strong 😆
As the name suggests, it has 3.2 acidity with 20 degrees alcohol!
Maybe we can call it a perverted sake now.
I had it heated 🍶.
The first aroma is sweet with a hint of acidity and grain.
In the mouth, there is a hint of acidity and the beautiful umami of Yume Nishiki.
It has a slight lactic acidity and a clean flavor of Yume-Nishiki.
It's a delicious sake with a lot of gusto 🍶✨.
While looking at the refrigerator of a liquor store, I found a label that did not look like sake. I looked at the back and saw that it was Okuharima. And it was low alcohol, so I bought it. I am not sure about the naming.
It has a crisp and tight impression, as is typical of sake from Hyogo.
The acidity, spiciness, and bitterness are well combined, making it a well-balanced dry sake. The alcohol content is 13%, so it goes down your throat smoothly. It is not for beginners, but it is good for a light evening drink.
My two sons treated me to a birthday (it was October 💦) celebration. My wife stayed at home. Just the three of us.
At Yakiniku Hakuryu in Akashi City.
Hiyoroshi" sake.
The aroma is sweet and deep. It has a firm richness and umami.
A voluminous sake.
Good morning, Chiri-Techin-san.
And happy birthday to you 🎉.
A meal gift from both of your children and a drink together - you have a wonderful relationship ✨.
It was a memorable drinking time 😊.
