Okura Honke (Sake Brewery in Nara)
We enjoyed the introduction of the brewery and explanation of sake with humor!

Appetizer
Comparison of three non-standard dry sake (3)
The more I drink, the more I feel like I'm losing track of what I know about Sake. The more I drink, the more I feel like I don't understand sake anymore 😅...
The familiar JPEG degradation style label(?) The familiar JPEG degradation style label (?) of Okura.
Somehow, it smells like natto, paint, whiskey, and familiar smells.
When you drink it, the texture becomes thick and smooth.
It has a matured feeling, but the aroma is relatively soft and gentle.
It is like a black vinegar drink for beauty.
Taste level 3.5/5
This time, we had a rare Arabashiri made with yeast #77 from Okura, Nara Sake 🙏.
Like the label says, it is a yeast that produces malic acid 🍎.
I'm not sure if it's apple or not, but the fruitiness is very apparent 🍇🍇🍌🍎🍎.
It's refreshing, but also tasty and full-bodied like an Okura 😋😋.
Challenges like this are important ✨
I missed it! But then I saw a store that had it in late so I ran out to buy it 😁.
My mom and her friend opened the bottle in the daytime and drank it before I did😅.
They seemed to have an image that Okura = delicious sake, and they had a couple of refills 🤣.
The yellow label, which is not in the usual lineup, has an impact.
As rumored, it has an apricot-like taste with lactic acidity and a complex flavor typical of mizu-hashiro (water yeast). The sweet and sour taste is accented with a little bitterness.
I definitely prefer this to the malic acid that I had the other day.
It tastes better when it has been refrigerated for a while than when it is chilled to a crisp.
Sake made with multi-acid yeast.
I wanted to drink the yellow-labeled mizu-hashiro sake, so I went to a strong sake shop in Okura, Kobe, but it was sold out immediately, so I bought this one instead.
I bought the yellow mizu-hashiroshi at another store later.
It has a juicy sweet flavor and an acidity that even seems sour. It has a little bit of apple taste, maybe due to the label and the yeast.
A little bitter at the end depending on the food you pair it with 🤔.
Good evening, bouken-san. ⭐︎
It's been a while since you went to DAISO, hasn't it?
If I go there alone, I tend to get pushed around by the guys and buy a lot of sake, so I'd like to go there with you, bouken-san lol.
Hi Yoohee 😃
I went to DAISO for a long time and bought some of the items along with the prepared honors I posted the other day 😊.
Most of the time when I go there the owner is not there so I just buy the ones I like 😁.
