100% Omachi produced in Okayama Prefecture. Because it is brewed with ungraded rice that has not been inspected, it is not designated as a sake with a specific name, but rather as a sake.
It is said that it is commonly called "Ura Hyakugakumon" or "Ura Sae," a mirror image of Hyakugakumon. The taste is sharp with Omachi's characteristic umami. I thought it would become fuller when heated, but there was no lingering aftertaste. Give it some time. When lukewarm, it was a little savory.
Fully mature Hyakugakumon Junmai Ginjo
I've had the back of the bottle before, but this may be my first time drinking the front.
I think the back was sharp and easy to drink, but this one also has a sharpness. However, the rice fruit flavor is also very refreshing on the nose. Just the name "fully ripe" is intriguing.
Sukiyaki was served as a side dish. I think it goes well with nabe dishes in general.
It matches this season when it is getting cold.
According to the owner of the liquor store, it is also good when heated.
Tasting at Nara Izumi Yusai
I like walking along the Katsuragi Historic Trail and often visit the city for sightseeing.

It has a profound and gorgeous flavor.
It was very delicious. ✨️
I brought back to Fukuoka some sake that I had purchased in Nara when I was back home in Osaka!
Finally opened the bottle!
It's been a long time since I've had a bottle of Hyakugakumon.
Chilled a little.
The aroma is subdued.
Rich, but not too heavy, with a dry element.
The astringency is quite impressive.
There may be an aftertaste that lingers on the palate after eating persimmon.
Long aftertaste.
Full of sweet and savory. Served at a gastronomy restaurant that serves dishes using Nara's food.
Very good with risotto (different name because it is Spanish food).
The rice is delicious!
There seem to be nuances of koji and nuts.
There is a sharp acidity with a light bitterness.
The alcohol is warm at the back of the throat.
The texture is surprisingly refreshing.
It does not expand that much,
It is not so full, but you can feel the rice flavor gradually until the end.
Gutsy and delicious.
