Graininess and honey sweet aroma🌾🍯☀️
On the palate, white grape aroma with acidity opens up, followed by white wine with a bit of body and honey sweetness 🥰🤩, then the rice flavor comes in 🥰🤩 followed by a refined acidity that brings it all together‼︎✨😋😭
This is 90% polished rice, it's so ‼︎‼︎ delicious 🍶😋🍶😋😋.
Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
Iwate Sake no Banquet!
This is less sweet than Unite (Junmai Ginjyo Namaishige Yuzuru no Kaori 50% polished) and has a more robust sake flavor.
The POP says "warming up makes it swell up", so this is one to look forward to as the weather gets colder.
I would like to drink it chilled to enjoy the sweet acidity, or warmed up to enjoy the full-bodied acidity with a meal!
I was surprised to learn that Hitomebore, an edible rice that I am used to eating, can be made into such a delicious sake.
Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
Iwate Sake Banquet!
From Okuroku, which we wanted to drink this time, we luxuriously compared the Lotus on the left (special junmai namaishige Hitomebore polished to 60%) and the Unite on the right (junmai ginjo namaishige Yuzu no Kou polished to 50%)!
This Unite has a hint of sourness from the aroma, and I am convinced that it is my favorite type.
The balance of sweet and sour (sweet at the beginning and sour later) is delicious, and it is more gorgeous than the Junmai Lotus. The higher the temperature, the sweeter it becomes, so I personally prefer to drink it cold, when I can taste the acidity as well.
Thank you for the encounter!
The evening news and a drink while watching Mr. Otani's great success.
UNITE, which we drank around this time last year.
The moment you put it in your mouth, it has a sweetness like beckoning, and then it kicks in refreshingly like a lime. Handsome Wild Thing: ⚾️
I remember that last year, the acidity was more pronounced, but I felt it was a different kind of deliciousness ^_^.
All the luxurious sakes I got from La Jomon are now all sealed 🍶Taste it slowly.
Hi Nanka Yokai 😃
I'm sure Otani's success is the best food, isn't it? Just watching him makes my sake 🍶 go up 😄.
Nice that you are going to Okuroku in your hometown Iwate👍.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
Okuroku in Iwate, the samurai on the label? (right hand typing w), I see Mr. Otani! I'm sure you'll get it 😊.
Last year we had the same sake with Otani-san as our entrée 🍶.
This is going to be a regular sake that I look forward to every year ⚾️
Score ☆☆☆☆
My first Okuroku ❣️
I was intrigued by the phrase "unfinished" on the back label and bought a bottle of "classical" (lol).
Surprisingly low white content (90%) 😳.
It has an elegant mouthfeel with a strong acidity that hits you hard 😆 but there is something peculiar about the acidity.
But the acidity is somewhat peculiar 💦.
Maybe it's unique to the yeast 🤔.
It's been a while since I've had such a peculiar sourness, and it was easier to drink at room temperature than chilled 😊.
As the temperature range rises, the sweetness and umami show their face little by little 🎶.
...but it's not my favorite sourness!
I'm not a fan of classical, but I'm going to try something else 🔥.
Speaking of revenge, I finally got my revenge on Monday night at the Yamaoka Restaurant ＼(^o^)／.
My partner was out drinking, so my daughter and I asked what we should eat. My partner was away for a drink, so my daughter and I decided to go to Yamaoka-ya, which she had never been to before!
We said we'd give up if it was crowded, but when we headed there, it just so happened that there were a few spaces available ‼️
Finally, we were able to eat it!
Special miso on the green onion Y(´▽ `)Y
Change the fat on the back
Harden the noodles, the rest is normal.
I had normal miso before. I was a little disappointed, but the special miso was
delicious! I love it!
It was delicious ❣️ I was satisfied ☺️
Hi T.KISO Welcome to Special Miso. I am sure your daughter would have said it was delicious. So isn't it only me after Hirotogawa? Your father-in-law 🤩.
Strong punch. Clean aftertaste. No bitterness at all. The aroma is a faint smell of something I've smelled before. It smells good. After a while, the sweetness gradually spreads.
Sweet aroma with a firm gravity 🌾☀️
On the palate, the lush mouthfeel and weighty sweetness gives way to a honeyed sweetness, mixed with citrus sweetness🍯🍊✨.
Flowing with a slight acidity afterwards 🥳😋.
I'm grateful to be able to buy it near me now that I've had to order it in! 😭Delicious✨😋.
Today is finally the 100m ✖️4 relay ❗️ and Tanaka's 5000m final ✨.
I'm looking forward to it so much that I'm watching the World Athletics recap show from 4pm and getting excited again😅.
I'm so excited to watch the World Athletics recap program at 4pm 😅 In such a world of Athletics, my family's accompaniment last night was Okuroku's Yamahai and Turtle.
The first sip had a strange aftertaste. It has the acidity and juiciness that is typical of Okuroku, but it has a lactic acidity that seems to have been overenthusiastic. This is where the ⁉️ master seems to be not so much from, but I was a little caught up. When the temperature relaxed, the aroma went away, so maybe it would have been better with warmed sake... 🧐.
Well, I've already finished it 😅.
I had Wakayama ramen as part of my morning ramen activity 😋 so I was energized from the morning👍.
Now I'll be cheering for the relay with all my might 📣.
Good evening, Mr. Wakata😄.
You are getting excited about the World Championships in Athletics👍.
You are so enthusiastic to start your ramen activity in the morning 🤩.
Is the egg next to the ramen 🍜🥚 all you can eat 🥚⁉️ I wonder how many Wakata-san ate 🤔I'm more curious than track and field 🤣.
HinaHanaMama, good evening 😃It goes up, doesn't it, when you look at the people who are doing their best ❣️, even the 5 eggs in this image ⁉️ look like they have eaten 💦Here is a boiled egg that is always available at the table, and the bill is self-reported for the amount eaten 😆.
Hanapin-san, good evening 😃Wakayama ramen, raw egg is really the best partner, do you understand me 🥰Imagine, soy sauce pork bone and egg🥚It's not so bad, right?
Tonight, here 💁 from Iwate Sake after a long absence.
Okuroku Unite 2024BY✨
I know it's been about a year, but I'd like to drink this season's Unite 🤗.
The aroma is a little bit like the aroma of No.6 Namaishige and the aroma of Yui.
The sweetness of the rice swelling in the mouth is quickly followed by a sourness that is somewhere between a spud and a cider 😋😋😋😋 The wild dryness of the yeast on the back end provides a contrast and overall balance that is excellent 🌟.
★★★★☆
First time I've seen this drink.
Never seen it in a pub either.
Bought it immediately!
I bought the one in the middle of the three varieties that were available.
It is clean but has a strong flavor. No unpleasant sake yeast feeling.
Bring Your Own Party
The third bottle is offered Okuroku
Scrape it off!
Refreshing with white malted rice! Low alcohol and fluty.
The bottle is also dark blue and cool!
This one was also well received and we are glad we brought it.
We went in because they were having a local beer festival at the usual fireworks site. It was a nice night with Chichibu beer and fireworks.
Hello, Nochi-san!
Looks like a fun Sake party 🎵!
～I'm looking forward to seeing you at the fireworks party 🎵.
That's a very powerful picture of the fireworks 🤗.
Okuroku's white malted rice sake still looks good on a hot day 😋.
