Commemorative 600th check-in: 🙇♀️
After half a year of neglecting to post, I finally completed it until mid-August.
This is the oldest sake brewery in Gunma Izumi, Makino Shuzo Ohai....
I haven't seen Mr. Makino recently...
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins, Mamo: 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I've never had a "big sake" 💦 interesting that even the oldest one in Gunma is made like Macho✨.
It's amazing that you can remember it from 6 months ago! 👍
Pon.
Thank you for your message 😭
I think the next year's Taiga Drama will feature a person from the area where Makino Brewery is located, so I think the area will be a little more exciting....
Hello, Momo-san!
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins 🎉.
I'd like to try some of the sake from Gunma Prefecture, as I don't often come across it 😋.
I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts 🎵.
Have a great sake life!
ma-ki.
Thank you 😭
I always appreciate your messages ♪
I have a drinking party today and plan to consume a lot of sake....... Please keep in touch with me 🙇♂️
Good day!
Here is today!
MACHO💪.
I've had a few bottles of Ohibai's Four Seasons series, but maybe I haven't had MACHO! So I bought it 😎.
My husband said he's sure he's bought it before, but he's not a sake drinker! But I haven't given it to Sake-no-wa...,
It's a mystery, but I'll take it! 🐰
Yes it's delicious 🥰.
Banana and juicy 🥰.
I think I've had it before 🐵 lol
But I'll pretend it's my first time drinking it!
I'll buy another one ✌️
Good evening, Jun-san!
I was wondering whether I should buy "Oubai" at Sake Senan when I visited there the other day 🤣.
I think the feeling that I've had "Oibai" before must be due to the influence of [bouken]'s old avatar: ✨️
Hi Jive, good evening ☺️
It's always about my second choice because it's always available on the water 🤣I'm glad I tried it for the first time 🥰.
I'm glad it was my first time ! I have a feeling of deja vu, not only because I saw it in a liquor store, but also because bouken! 🤣
Melon aroma and slight effervescence
Balance of sweet and spicy 👌
Second day, third day...
I'm getting sweeter and sweeter with each passing day 👍
I think it's because the carbonation is lost, but the taste changes 👍
7.5
Macho acidity
Sweet and sour aroma, smooth attack. The taste is macho, sweet and tasty. It goes in smoothly and has a good sharpness.
It's a little strange. I was reminded 😅.
So I went with the soft simmered octopus recommended by the staff. I enjoyed it to a macho degree 💪.
It is a chic series of Oubai, and is said to be made from old-style sake yeast.
Chilled.
The aroma is clean and banana-like. It has a gentle carbonation that caresses the palate and a mild sweetness. The deep and lingering acidity overlaps with it, which I like very much.
It goes well with food. Today, I had stewed chicken wings and radish.
If I open the fridge for sake and this is sitting there... I can't stand it even mid-week 😓.
Our macho💪 history started here! LOL 😆
That's the MACHO gorilla🦍 in the large sake cup
...but the last time I drank it for the first time, it was a draft sake...so technically, this hi-iri🔥 is my first time drinking it🤤.
When I opened the bottle, the aroma wasn't that great 🤔, but when I poured it into a glass ✨, it smelled like a faint apple ✨.
Then, I will take a sip 😋.
From the apple-like 🍎 sweetness, to the miscellaneous taste due to the low milling 🌾? Bitterness? It's a bit complex, but... you can feel the robust flavor from the moment you put it in your mouth to the moment you swallow it.
I personally prefer the Gorilla Sake, which I drank for the first time, but this one has a mild taste that can be drunk peacefully 😊.
The complex aftertaste slowly fades away...very pleasant 🙂↕️
If I were to use an analogy... a freshly opened soda is like a gorilla fresh 🫧, and a gorilla fire 🔥 with no carbonation but a deep flavor 😌.
If you're not careful, you'll run out if you drink it in small doses😅.
If you've never had it, you're in for a treat!
If you have never had it, please visit ‼️
It has a nice fruity flavor with a strong punch 😁.
Day 2🗒️
More flavor and before you know it, it's empty 😨.
Quirky... but addictive taste✨
The last raw 🦍 was so good that... I didn't hesitate to buy the fire-roasted 🦍 immediately 🍶.
The difference is obvious 😳
No freshness 😆.
It has a thicker texture and a little bit of a tangy taste......brown rice 🌾.
What's amazing is that it's so peculiar and assertive, yet persistent in its pull 0️⃣✨
It's a quiet drink among the Macho series so far, but you can never be too careful 🤣.
I'll drink it over the course of a week or so 😤.
Day 4 of the series...
I feel like I'm getting more relaxed as the days go by 🤔.
Purchased at usual liquor store.
Gorimacho!
The aroma is subdued and the taste is a bit lighter than the other large cups I've had.
The aftertaste is almost bitter, with a simple hint of rice-like sweetness.
It is 90% polished rice, but there is a nice complexity to the so-called miscellaneous flavors.
Alcohol 15%.
Rice Polishing Ratio 90
Color: clear with yellowish tint
Taste ★★★☆☆☆☆
I had a drink a while ago and... my memory 🥹.
Speaking of Macho💪, the raw 🦍 was outstandingly delicious 🤔, but I remember feeling this one was a concept close to that 🦍.
It has the cleanness of Yamada Nishiki but with a nice tangy taste to match ✨.
This year, I'm talking about the macho chase, so the waitresses have it too 💁♂️ lol
Thank you so much 😁.
Strong melon aroma!
The mouthfeel is also well structured, though,
The mouthfeel is well structured, yet well-balanced with a slight effervescence and beautiful acidity.
It's robust enough to be drunk on its own, so it would go well with peppery meats rather than refined Japanese food!
