I just realized that there are gold and silver 5 stars in Cho Oroku 🍶.
I went back to Sake-no-wa and found that he has been drinking gold 5-star 😅.
Fresh green ginjo aroma 🌱
It's gassy and acidic with a bitter taste!
But there's a bit of maturity in the nose and taste, a bit different flavor and complexity than fresh juicy. The sweetness is dry and the alcohol is a little strong and certainly dry. In other words, it is delicious. 😋😋😋😋
I wonder if the October shipment is positioned as an autumn harvest?

I was sober for a whole week because I got carried away at New Year's. The only way to get sober is to drink Oroku (heavy type)!
The only thing that can lift my ban is Oroku (heavy type)!
Jacket price... 9/10
If it's Ohroku, it's a brown bottle on a gray background; Hachimat's is suddenly much better!
Ki ... 19/20
The taste is not too cohesive, but it is not too much, and the acidity is very good.
Sei... 19/20
The combo of acidity, koji sugar water, and an old sake-like but also apple-like aroma that rises to the nostrils strikes you.
Turning... 18/20
The smell of sublimation like ripe apples, the texture and taste are clear without being cloying, but not too much. The acidity is also a persistent working accent.
Yui ... 16/20
It is a barley shochu, but it is not so sweet and sweet.
COSPA ... 7/10
If you want to drink Ohroku, you have to pay this much!
The perfect candy and whip are the quintessence of Oroku.
88 points
If you want to drink Oroku, you should definitely drink a BY older than 3 years!
If it is too young, the Alc feeling will prevail and the weight will be reduced by half.
The essence of "Ohroku" is to enjoy the heavy and sweet taste.
Tonight, I am posting my first series. Here💁 of Shimane's famous sake.
Ohroku Junmai Izumo Kojiya 2023BY✨
The cloudy nmpics are still going on, but this brand seems to be a second fermentation sake in the bottle 🫧.
When opened, there is no spillage but when poured into the sake cup, there is white foam with quite strong gas🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧.
The standing aroma is mild but has a lactic acid Yakult or Bickle-like aroma and steamed rice nuances. The taste is characterized by a dryness with a punch due to the high alcohol content, while it has a soft rice sweetness and umami with a gas buzz.
If you mix a significant amount of lees, the rice flavor and bitterness will become stronger and more drinkable: ☺️

Oroku Junmai 80 Unfiltered Nama Sake
2021BY Yamadanishiki 80
17.5° 24/12 A+
Matsue City, Shimane
720 2420
This sake has been aged for over two years.
It has a rich, robust flavor that retains the raw taste.
When heated, it has a softness and a different taste.
Since I had decided to drink O-roku-sama last night, the first thing that came to my mind was squid somen noodles and sesame tofu. I thought it would go well with Oroku's unique spicy and umami taste. I was right, it was a bingo 💖.
And my favorite, the garland chrysanthemum salad ✨, simply dressed with sesame oil, chicken broth, and shirasu (baby sardines), is simple but exquisitely delicious, and the harmony of the aroma of the sesame oil and the flavor of Oroku is also good. ‼️
What if there were unexpected fruity flavors? I also tried grilled bananas. I was convinced that the banana's slight acidity accentuated the alcoholic smell of Wang Luk and it was not good. ⤵️ Failure is also important 💪 Sprinkle a little salt on it to recover!
It's the last day of winter vacation, so the main course is beef fillet steak and cheese risotto❤️
Impressions of individual drinks are handled by shinsaku3 🩷.
Hi Peckho 😃Hello 😃Chungiku salad is so easy to make and I bet it tastes great! I think I can do this too 😍Grilled bananas can sometimes be a failure 😅I think I'll try to make it this year too 🥰 with the help of your recipe 🥰.
HinaHanaMama🩷Good evening! Pairing fiasco is also a fun experience 🤭 I'll try again with bananas sometime when I have a drink that seems to go well with it! I'm sure you'll enjoy it 😤.
Please try making it with garland chrysanthemum since it's in season too 🙏🥰🙏🙏🥰!
Good morning, Pekho 😃!
I read shinsaku3's flavor review, saw the 3rd photo, and then continued to read Peckho's pairing! This flow is so easy to get into my head 🤗.
Good morning, Mr. Peckho!
I think the sake of Shimane facing the Sea of Japan and [squid] in the middle of the year would go well with it 😁.
I've never used sesame tofu as an entrée, so I'd like to try it with something next time 🤔.
The meat looks delicious 🥩🤣!
Jay & Nobby 🩷Good morning ‼️It's still difficult to comment on individual drinks 🤨it depends on food, time, temperature, and physical condition? But the pairing is what I'm in the mood for tonight, so I'm glad you enjoyed reading about it 🥰.
Jive 🩷Good morning ‼️ I see 🧐It makes sense that it would fit with the specialties of the region where the sake was born, as it fits with the environment in which the creator and local consumers grew up ✨Sesame tofu, maybe ⭕️ for a sake that is not sour and needs a full body🥰.
Pekho, here's another one 😊.
The garland chrysanthemum salad looks delicious! And it looks like it can be made right away😊It looks like a good chopstick rest for hot pot🎶.
Ponchan 🩷2025 years major debut, I'm a first year lol 😆 please take care of me ‼️ I can eat a heap of garland chrysanthemum salad with sesame oil 😍I wish you many delicious drinks this year too 🙏.
Overall 10 (out of 10)
It doesn't have any of the sweet and tasty elements I like, but for some reason I liked it.
But for some reason I liked this sake, which is named after the "king" of Shimane, where the gods gather 🍶⛩️
According to the description
It has a beautiful acidity and a luscious sweetness that leaves a graceful aftertaste.
According to the description, it is "a sake with beautiful acidity and sweetness that leaves a graceful aftertaste.
Unlike the description ⁉️, it is not sweet, but it is delicious 😋.
Clear, straight, crisp and dry with no clutter👍.
The spicy taste is not brought out by alcohol, but purely from the rice.
Again, I can't describe it well, but that's the impression I got 😋.
We served it chilled.
Pairing impressions were made by Pekho-san.

Good morning, shinsaku3!
It's true that we don't have the same image of "luscious sweetness" 🤔It's been a long time since we had the first bottle 😅I might take you out for the first time in a while!
Good morning, shinsaku3!
I too have an image of "Ohroku" as dry 🤔.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a good review of each sake and pairing since you started checking them out this year 😁.
Good evening, Mr. Muro 😃.
Thank you 😊
I think this Oroku is very good, but it's hard to describe how good it is 😅.
I think it's good, but it's hard to describe how good it is 😅.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
Yes, it was delicious 🔍👀, although I didn't find any sweetness in the drink 🔍👀, but it was delicious👍.
If you see it, please get it and let us know what you think ❗️🍶😃
Hi Jive, good evening.
Thank you 😊
It's still dry, isn't it? ❗️ Ohroku
It looks like you've woken up to enjoy sake even more by finding the perfect pairing, Pekho-san 😅.
Aroma of maturity. Vegetable type.
Like coffee with a hint of coffee.
The kind of aroma I don't like.
The rice flavor is strong.
It's good, but....
Taste degree ☆3/5
As the name suggests, super easy to drink. This is also a first for me.
All the drinks are first-timers today, but they are all delicious and enjoyable.
The brewery is said to be very particular about quality control.
The aroma spreading in just a few sips made me dizzy.
I was told that it is serial number 1!
The first sip has a unique taste like no other sake.
The second and third sips transform it into a sweet and delicious sake that is easy to drink!
This is a great sake!
