Softer the second day, but a big flavorful drink with a bit too much cotton candy sweetness for me. Has an intense bitterness on the finish as well. Not my favorite.
When I went sightseeing in the old town in Hida Takayama, I stopped by a store that was not a sake brewery but a direct sales store where I could sample sake for a fee.
It is located right in the middle of the tourist area.
This is the Oda Sake Brewery, the originator of Onikoroshi.
Older Sake Brewery Kamiminomachi Branch
You put a coin from the server and drink it.
A coin is 300 yen for 36 ml.
Hida Boast Onikoroshi Junmai Namaishu
It is fresh but dry with a strong alcohol taste.
Junmai Ginjo Hida Takayama
I selected this sake by looking at the sake level, and found that it was the same as the one I drank at the Japanese Sake Festival. It had more flavor than the previous sake and was a true sake.
There was a signature of Wakako Sake with "Pshu". 🖊️
Good evening, Nemuchi-san 😃.
When I hear the word "Onikoroshi" I always think of Nihonmori or Kiyosuzakura's sake sold in paper cartons, but this is the original Onikoroshi👹 from the brewery where "Onikoroshi" originated😳.
I learned a lot by looking it up 😊.
Aladdin, good evening 🌛This is the original Onikoroshi 👹I was able to drink it all up without incident 😁Although it was not my favorite type... 😅It seems that even the venerable brewery where it originated became part of the traditional brewery group as time went on 😓.
Overall 5 (out of 10)
I bought it from Older Brewery😃.
I can feel the alcohol taste along with the spiciness, probably due to the high alcohol content.
The alcohol taste goes away and the spiciness and astringency remain.
It has a classic image.
I enjoyed it chilled.
I was impressed by the aroma of the wine.
-Aroma: Aroma of alcohol and some ginjo aroma
-Aroma: Astringency and spiciness on the nose.

Dry Daiginjo. I was surprised that it was drier than I expected. As expected, the taste lived up to its name. At first I thought it might not be my favorite, but as I got used to it, it became more and more delicious. It goes well with seafood.
