Oroku Hachimaru
It has the astringency and umami typical of 80% low-polishing sake, with a salami-like aroma, but also a strange elegance without any unpleasant tugging.
We are currently exploring izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) in front of Matsumoto Station. However, the cost will be high, so we are trying to keep it moderate.
This restaurant opened last week next to the ramen shop Hizuki. The location and the fact that the restaurant opens at 3:00 p.m. are in line with the drinking habits of Matsumoto.
The young and pleasant master is a one-man operation. The food is delicious and the sake selection is maniacal, with four brands from within the prefecture and four from outside. I think it's seamless.
We will spread the word in a small way.
Correction.
The sake brands were 4 in-prefecture and 6 out-of-prefecture.
On the second day of my trip to the Chugoku region, I discovered a new brewery that I had been curious about for some time, Oroku, so I decided to give it a try.
The aroma was complex, with an indescribable scent that could be described as ripe banana, almond, or disinfectant.
In the mouth, it is tangy, dry, stimulating, and a little astringent. However, the lingering aroma is sweet and mellow. This is also a complex flavor that is hard to describe.
It is not my favorite, but I can understand why it is said to be delicious.
⭐︎:3.5
The owner of the sushi restaurant was introduced on TV as a French chef!
The dishes are served one after another, and the chef keeps serving us delicious dishes with a little extra effort!
The sashimi is fresh!
I could eat a belly full of cod!
The next sake was Oroku!
Hachimaru 80% polished rice, unadulterated sake, served on Oroku's debut!
The color is a bit pale.
The taste is deep!
It reminded me of the Oroku sake drinking comparison party I once attended in Sapporo and Uriinde!

Hachimaru Nama-nazake New Sake Spring Season Only
Fairly discreet cherry blossom label.
I don't think you get much of a sense of maturity.
It's a low-purity, unfiltered nama-shu.
It has a thick core of umami and complexity.
The bitterness wraps around the core umami and complexity.
but it's rather refreshing.
