Next is the Toku Jun Arabashiri S.sake🍶 with an acidity of 4.8.
The top aroma is sweet with a hint of acidity.
In the mouth, it has a smooth juicy sweetness and acidity.
It has a sweet aroma with a hint of honey.
It is also delicious as usual, but where did the acidity of 4.8 go? 🤔
The sake level is -1, which is not a big deal, but I didn't feel the acidity as much as I thought I would 😅I was hoping for a weird sake, but to be honest, I was disappointed 😅.
We went to the Okura Fair at Asano Sake Brewery....not the metamorphosis of the Asano Sake Brewery.
First up was the Yamahai Special Junmai Oceto🍶.
The top aroma is slightly fruity and sweet.
Smooth in the mouth.
Sake meter value is +19, but it has a slight sweetness and umami, not too perverse 🤔(dissatisfaction).
I guess the feeling is similar to Mimuro Sugi's dry dewy leaf style.
It was just plain delicious 🍶😅.
Okura Yamahai Special Junmai - Koji 4-stage brewing
It has a slight yellowish hue! The aroma is strong, which is typical of Yamahai (plus a strong smell of alcohol).
The aroma is strong like Yamahai (+ strong alcohol smell).
Sweet and sour! It has a sake strength of -23 and an acidity of 5.8! Compared to the aroma, the peculiarity is not so strong and it is quite easy to drink! It is quite easy to drink!
Nara sake is unique and interesting 👍
This is Mr. Okura, who recently signed our book!
Saccharomyces cerevisiae."
It sounds like a Harry Potter spell, but it is not.
It is the name of the oldest yeast.
It has a slightly thickened and gentle taste.
It tastes like fruit juice.
The sweet and sour taste spreads in your mouth.
Is this sake?
It is very tasty and interesting.
I am becoming more and more interested in Okura.
Tasting at Nara Izumi Yusai (3)
Mr. Okura always has something different to attract our attention.
I've seen lemon before, but...
This is a pure rice sake with a grapefruit flavor... I was curious and ordered it!
The aroma is like an aged sake.
It's not fresh grapefruit, but more like an old-fashioned crepe-fruit flavored candy...
It was more sweet than sour!
Rainy~Soppy Friday~♪
It was a weekend of drinking to our fill, but we actually stopped by a place before drinking.
This is the reason why I was maxed out (laugh).
Asano Sake Shop in Sannomiya.
To our surprise, we were informed that President Okura of Okura Honke was coming to the store!
We arrived in front of the store. I arrived in front of the store and looked around the store under an umbrella. Then, I saw Mr. Okura wearing a hachimaki!
I entered the store with trepidation.
I had a chat with Mr. Okura.
Mr. Okura, I enjoyed watching your video. Now I want to go to Ekimaenomise at Gotodo Station!"
I was so nervous in front of him that the coins in my wallet were scattered on the floor...
I apologize to Mr. Okura for the 150 yen that I had to grope for....
And his autograph!
I got it written! I'm so happy!
Thank you, Mr. Okura.
Sorry for the long sentence.
I bought some sake at the store.
It is delicious. It is very good! The aroma is good, and the balance of acidity and sweetness/spiciness is excellent.
However, my own taste buds are not quite up to par.
It is difficult to tell the difference between No. 6 yeast and Aizan, for example.
I would like to devote myself to it.
I would like to try Okura-san's dolce and muddy sake!
Mellow, ripe, fruity aroma.
When you take a sip, it has a sourness and sake lees feeling, with a cheese-like aroma.
After reintroducing it, the taste is like freshly cooked rice and sweet potato, and it expands,
It has a bitter taste. It smells like a lot of rice in the mouth.
The acidity, which is typical of Yamahai, supports the umami without becoming stagnant.
The complexity of the low-polished rice is nice.
It is a sweet, umami, and firm sake.
I like it.
4/5 stars for liking.
He asked for sake that goes well with raisin chocolate.
He said, "I haven't tried it myself, but I think it would probably go well with raisin chocolate, so let me know what you think next time you come."
I asked the shopkeeper about it.
He recommended several kinds of sake.
I decided to try the Okura, which I had never had before 😁.
The aroma is grain-like sweet and sour with a hint of cocoa.
The taste is a little complex, but it's also sweet and sour with a hint of bitterness.
It's sweet and sour with a hint of bitterness.
It's like lemonade 🍋.
This bitterness goes really well with raisin chocolate👍
I usually ask what do you recommend? I usually ask "Do you have any recommendations?
I usually ask, "Do you have any recommendations? and they think about it with me.
and they think about it with me.
I felt grateful to have a store that thinks about it with me 😆.
I'll have to report back the next time I go there!
Good morning, Tsuyodai 😃.
I'm sure the liquor store must have been very skilled with your request for this unusual combination 😁.
I am impressed that you chose Okura, which matches perfectly! I can't recommend it unless I've had a proper drink and understand it 😊.
Hi Tsuyodai 🐦.
It's amazing that you chose the perfect sake even though it was a difficult request 😳I would like to keep in touch with this liquor store for a long time ❣️
I noticed the "addition of water and heat" when I brought it home... I had high hopes for the temptation of Oumachi.
Jacket value ... 5/10
I didn't buy it because of the jacket, but when I looked at it carefully, I realized it was cheap.
Hue ... 12/20
The hue is a little bit too strong...I'll refrain from saying so...the smell is that of old sake...it even has a cheese smell...but the texture is too dry...you can still stick with it if the initial aroma is this good.
Seiyo... 13/20
The texture is not unpleasant, but the astringency is not unpleasant at all.
Turnover... 11/20
The chemical smell of old sake and the sugar water-like sweetness are strangely coexisting.
The end... 12/20
The aftertaste is Takayuu, and the aroma and texture before the sublimation are recognized as that of Yumachi.
COSPA ... 5/10
Purchased at 1,680 yen.
The smell of cheese is mentioned, but the food is Camembert 😂.
I think it's a preconceived notion, but I don't think the texture of the cheese feels integrated.
58 points
I visited Noboru Sake Shop for the first time.
The sake recommended to me there was from Nara.
The balance of sourness and sweetness is exquisite.
