I want the waiter to experience this sake! I bought it due to a push from the store clerk who said
In the past, I have drunk Okura, which has a negative image because of its habitual taste 🤔.
I'm not sure about this one, but I gulped it down 😳.
It has a habitual taste like Okura, but the aroma is reduced by the freshness and the unique flavor of Aizan!
It is not too strong, but has a good extension....
Isn't it delicious?
I was told that if you let it sit for a while it will change again....leave it for a few minutes and it will lose its hardness and become even easier to drink....you are a munchkin 🤣.
The hot sake is also very mild and is a good playmate for those who want to take their time ✨.
I think I'll be back next year 😆.
Oh no, it's delicious!
I like Okura more and more!
This sake is derived from "Donzurubou" in Kashiba City, Nara Prefecture.
The rice is, what a surprise, livestock rice! Boo hoo hoo boo!
This is not old-fashioned rice. It is "hoshiaobe" rice grown in the city for animal feed.
Mr. Okura's eternal "chuunibyou" (laugh).
It's a fun challenge!
Yes, it is good!
One sip and the image changes.
You feel the usual sweetness. And it doesn't linger as usual.
It may be more like a caramel feeling than a rich fruit. It seems to finish with a sourness.
The rice polishing ratio is 55%. It is junmai ginjo class. However, since the rice is not sake-making rice, it is said to be "ordinary sake".
I have wanted to try this sake for a long time. I am very satisfied!
This is a sake that I would love to see cows, pigs, and chickens drink!
Good evening, Mr. Pekkaaru. The price of sake rice has gone up tremendously, so it would be great if breweries would take on various challenges and produce good sake.
Good morning, AAJI! Sake is getting more expensive too.... I am sometimes surprised that a glass of sake for a drink out is the same price as a set meal. I am sometimes surprised. I hope that sake will always be accessible to us...
This one is not as thick as the others.
There is a thickening feeling, but it is a clean type of Okura-san.
Sweet and sour. There is some bitterness and astringency. That is also good!
It's good!
Did the three-day weekend make it so? I went to Asano Sake Shop two days in a row!
Maybe Mr. Okura made me do so (lol).
I really wanted to drink it.
The aroma is mild. It is a nice smell of Mr. Okura. This one uses Edo yeast. The sake level is -10.
Of course, it has a sweet image, but the sourness also plays a big role. The balance is excellent. It has a smooth texture on the tongue, but I think it is a relatively light type of sake among Okura's. We enjoyed it very easily!
Pekka Ru-san Good evening. I am interested in Edo yeast. Even now, there are many kinds of yeast, aren't there? I live in Kumamoto prefecture, so I think my body is made of No. 9 yeast. I've become quite blended over the past few years 😅.
Good morning, AAJI! There are so many different yeasts out there!
Yeast No. 9! I see that Ryuriki is taking care of it here~!
I am from Kansai, so I am made with Takoyaki yeast. Why not?
It smells very nice too. I don't know how to describe it.... Anyway, I can't get enough of it!
This is Okura-san with Aizan and No.6 yeast.
The sweetness spreads in your mouth. It is also powerful. The balance with the acidity must be exquisite!
It finishes the drink neatly. So it is an endless loop of drinking it again right away.
Delicious!
President Okura is the best! Everyone in the restaurant was smiling~!
In November, Asano Sake Shop is holding the "Sake Nara Fair".
On the 1st, Mr. Okura visited the store, so we went there~.
It was past noon, but the store was packed.
Mr. Okura, wearing a hachimaki, was serving customers with a fan in his hand!
He is loved by everyone!
First of all, I had a cup of Asahi!
I love Okura after all! (laugh).
The aroma is outstanding. Gentle on the palate. Ripe fruit. Syrupy sweetness, but zero stickiness. Not tart. Strong flavor. It is a very drinkable sake.
It was an extremely tasty sake.
I bought this because it was the first Okura I had ever seen.
Ahhh, this is my very favorite type. It's a very tasty Yakult type. I wondered what the label read, and found that it was the name of a yeast called Saccharomyces Ed. It was written on the label.
I want to buy it again.
This is Okura's Arabashiri.
This is the first time I've had arabashiri.
I had it cold 🍶.
The first aroma is slightly sweet.
In the mouth it has a juicy sweetness with a hint of sourness.
It is well-balanced and delicious 😊.
I think Okura is something you drink with a sense of excitement because it is tasty but a little peculiar, thick or sour, so I was disappointed in a good way lol.

We enjoyed the introduction of the brewery and explanation of sake with humor!
