Polishing ratio 70%.
Alcohol content 17
Transparent dark orange
The first impression of the aroma is that of maturity.
Fragrant wood, old chests, chocolate, smoked aroma
The first impression on the palate is strong.
Full-bodied sweetness, acidity with presence, lingering bitterness.
Complex flavor balance with a slightly long finish.
Quite a peculiar sake!
I think I like it better when it is warmed up, as it becomes a little rounder.
I wonder what kind of food it would be good with... It has a spicy flavor, so it would be good with curry or Chinese food.
I think there might be a dish that would hit the spot.
It would be interesting to find out.
Good morning, Mura909 😃.
It is indeed a very strong sake. I'm sure it would simply age if the quality of the sake wasn't strong, and it's like a manifestation of the brewery's confidence 😄.
I'd like to try it 🍶!
In such extreme heat (I drank it last September), I want something shaken up, not just the flavors I normally drink. lol
Oh, this is just out of the ordinary. The sake level is an astounding -44! The sweetness is tart. As the label design suggests, it has a strong lemon-like acidity.
I ended up drinking it as is, but it would also be delicious with soda or on the rocks.
Yamahai special pure rice
Unfiltered raw sake
Okura which I drank at an old sake bar the other day.
A bit different item though 🤔
I bought it on a trip to Nara 😎.
Drinking at home 😆
I drink it cold or warmed up 😆.
The aroma changes depending on the temperature 🤓.
Complex aroma 🤔
Influenced by the color of the label,
It also smells like orange?
Okura Unfiltered Nama Sake Nakadori
At an old sake bar 😆
Requested a matured draft sake 😎.
The result was Okura and Kozaemon in the picture 😆.
The first taste is gorgeous,
The aftertaste is matured flavor 😋🤓.
Aged sake as expected👍
At Asano Sake Shop SANNOMIYA.
I asked the staff what Okura sake is like. The staff said... "It is a perverted sake"...?
I didn't understand the perversity, but it is a normal, tasty and good sake.
It has a fresh aroma and a gaseous feeling peculiar to direct pumping. The sweetness and umami are good. A taste that you will never get tired of.

Impression
At an izakaya in Nara Prefecture (forgot to take a picture)
The color was light brown, sour and thick.
I wonder if this is the unique taste of Yamahai.
Contrary to the acidity, the mouthfeel was fine and there was a faint sweetness in the aftertaste.
It is not the first sake I would drink, but I would like to drink it after a few glasses.
I bought this drink a long time ago.
I've been looking forward to it!
Finally, I will open the bottle today!
Wow, there is a mild but firm sweet aroma coming from the glass.
It's not so much a sweet aroma, but rather an aroma that is unique to Okura-san.
The mouthfeel is also amazing!
The taste is smooth and glossy. It is delicious!
It is like a thick fruit juice.
However, it is not at all harsh.
I can't get enough of Okura-san's sake!
I like it more and more!
I would like to visit Ekima Enomise again.

What a fun label!
The store owner is said to be the model.
The sake level is 0, but it is very sweet.
I didn't think so when I put it in my mouth.
After finishing it, I felt a sweetness like maple syrup.
However, it is not too sweet.
It is very delicious. It was as expected from Mr. Okura!
Congratulations to Asano Sake Brewery on their 10th anniversary.
Hello, Pon!
I was looking at the bottles on display and found this label in a row! And it's Okura-san!
The one in the middle is the manager and the one on the right is the president!
Last.
I won't be able to go to work the next day (sweat).
I was going to order the drink part 2 from the previous day, dolce.
The label said "drinking sweets".
How sweet can it be? I thought...
It's also outstandingly delicious!
It is not as sweet as cake, chocolate, or ice cream. It is not as sweet as cake, chocolate, or ice cream, but just about as sweet as pudding.
However, it is not at all thick.
You can drink it without hesitation.
I think it is a sake in its own right.
In the video I saw, it was served with vanilla ice cream.
I can understand why!
I also had a chance to talk a lot with the brewer, Mr. Okura.
It was a very tasty and enjoyable sake experience!
I would like to go back again.
Thank you.
Good evening Mr. Pekkaal 🍶.
I envy you that you live near a mecca for perverted sake lovers 😆.
I heard last year that the brewery is run by 3 people, the brewer, his wife and the brewer's wife.
Labor... well, let's put aside the labor, it's a powerful brewery 😂.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo!
The sanctuary is in the same Kansai area.
It's about 1 hour and 15 minutes by train!
My phone's history is full of "Gotodo Station" (lol).
I see you three are making it together~!
I would like to drink many kinds!
It feels like a field trip to me.
Rosa, part 1 of the drink I had been planning to order since the day before.
The color is like a rosé wine.
The rice is said to be riceberry from Wazuka, Kyoto.
Okura-san, please give me a break. Seriously, it is delicious!
Is this sake?
I was surprised!
We will have "Chi-Nara" with cheese and Nara pickles as a side dish.
This goes well together again.
I'm going to be dyed in Okura color.
Thanks.
We ordered "Stable variant 850 yen (with snacks)". (Video=Yamato's Umami Sake Sake x Snacks x Kinshu #34)
What is this third one?
The label is handwritten.
It is a one-year aged sake.
It's sweet and sour and delicious!
I really wanted them to put it on the market!
Thanks.
