Today's sake is a little bit unusual - it's from Shimane Prefecture, called "Oroku" 🤗Kanji is so hard to read!
I know the name of this sake, but it's been on my list to try someday. ☺️
The first aroma is gentle and reserved, but that impression changes completely when it hits the palate! The rich umami and acidity spread out in a blur! While the alcohol content of 17.5 can be felt, the lingering aftertaste is surprisingly beautifully clean... I was surprised... It was different from other sake I have ever had, and I felt I caught a glimpse of the true essence of sake backed by the solid popularity of the brand!
Thank you for the sake!
Wakata, nice to meet you and thank you for your comment 😊I didn't expect to get 5 stars for my first king's stipend, which is fortuitous 🤗I'm sure the other flavors must be delicious as well, judging from the perfection of this one 😆.
Super Oroku and Nigori Oroku
It was quite dry, and I felt a little short of flavor since I had been drinking umami-filled drinks recently.
I guess this one is delicious in its own way, though.
After drinking Oroku once before, I got addicted to it soberly and repeated 😃.
It's sweet and round, which makes it easy to drink, and dry and refreshing, which makes it easy to drink⁉︎🐈.
It makes me wonder‼️😌
It's crisp and classic when opened, but it's also addictive in the way it gradually transforms into a modern wine over time! 🦔✨✨
The other place where you can really feel the faintest hint of gas is also a personal ⭕️ 🙌✨
I have always been curious about this Shimane sake, which is thoroughly temperature-controlled and sold in special refrigerators at liquor stores.
Fresh and refreshing aroma, firm umami, tight pungency and a little astringency, clear, easy to drink, deep flavor, unique balance 😁.

Putting aside the nonsense, let's go back to drinking "Ohroku" again!
The aroma is subdued, but there is a sweet aroma of rice in the air. The hard, mineral-rich brewing water is a marriage of sweetness, saltiness, acidity, and bitterness. When swallowed properly, it is sharp and pierces the back of the throat, and when swallowed slowly, it is an interesting sake that evaporates. Among the small bottles of sake that we have entered, there is probably no other sake as interesting as this one. Thank you again for the sake tonight!
2023 Vintage Liquor. Aged sake?
Classic sake aroma when opened.
After drinking it, the alcohol feeling comes soooo quickly. No ginjo aroma, so if it's not my favorite?
However! It goes very well with Sorinan Kumiage Yuba Wasabi Soy Sauce. The classic feeling is gone and it is very tasty.
I would like to drink it again after a little time, when the alcohol has mellowed out.
