As one would expect from Okuharima, it is a delicious sake.
Today's dinner was mainly cream stew, and I thought about how to match it with sake, but the deliciousness of Okuharima and the depth of its nostalgia went well beyond 👍.
This is Okuharima Junmai Orikarami H28BY.
This one has to be heated 🍶😆.
While it was heating up, I had a chance to taste it with a sake cup.
It had a bit of a raw hiney aroma, but the flavor was so full of flavor that it was hard to believe it was 9 years old, so my expectations were high!
The top aroma is slightly sweet with a hint of rice.
The raw hine aroma is almost completely gone 😊.
In the mouth, it has a mild sweetness of rice with plenty of umami.
I could feel the wonderfulness of maturity 😌.
It was delicious ✨️🍶
Hot sake.
Aromatic flavor of chestnuts and sweet potatoes,
Light texture with a hint of acidity.
The rice flavor is just right.
It has a green depth with a hint of herbs and earthiness.
The sweetness is soft and fluffy like a sweet potato.
A good food sake that can be drunk hot or cold.
A good combination with gently seasoned salted stew.
Degree of liking ☆3.5/5
First time in Hyogo Prefecture
One cup of Okuharima Junmai
The mouthfeel is completely classic!
Since I entered the sake swamp from a sweet modern type, it brought back my former dislike of sake, but I could feel the lingering rice flavor in the heavy flavor, and I was impressed with myself that my taste buds, cultivated in the swamp, have grown up😅.
