I went to Murata, the wine and sake shop I always go to, because they were having a tasting and sale at their warehouse 😁.
Well, the lees is accumulating there!
Shake the bottle a little to make it cloudy and open the bottle!
The sound of the bottle is always a pleasant one!
Recently, there are four-pack bottles with crowns, so I enjoy this sound (I wonder if the brewer understands this?).
Sake temperature: 9 degrees Celsius.
The aroma is milky, with a hint of cream-like ginjo aroma.
The mouthfeel is sweet but not sticky and soft.
And there is a chirichiri-ness to it.
I only tasted about half of the sake, so all I could think was "delicious ❗️", but I was right to buy it!
I have another bottle to enjoy!
The warehouse was sold at a liquor store.
Bodai Hashiro, all Omachi rice, this one is only available at this time of the year ✨.
Gozenshu, which had a classic image...is quite modern
Delaware-like grape aroma and sweetness comes through after a refreshing sip.
I think I'll visit the brewery again ✨
Drinking iron from Okayama
Taking advantage of paid holidays...
Since it was described as nigori, I thought it would have a mild taste, but it was refreshing!
I could feel the spirit of the brewer.
I drank it in no time!
We also visited Tsuyama Castle.
The 5th Shinmame Festival, the 5th Kami Ongaku Mie Shinshu Matsuri㊱.
Slide sideways to the Gozenshu booth. The brewer was there. They have been all Omachi brewery for a few years now.
After listening to the explanation, I decided to compare a freshly squeezed Bodaihashi with a one year aged Bodaihashi.
Gozenshu Bodai-Hashiroshi Nigori Unmatured Sake
Freshly pressed a week ago. It has a fresh mouthfeel with a juicy acidity. Sour and milky at the same time. Alcoholic and bitter.
Gozenshu 1859 Bodai Hashiroshi Yumachi, fire-brewed
This one has been aged for a little over a year. The wild and powerful flavor of the Omachi has been rounded out with a supple and strong flavor that is well balanced with the acidity. It has a deep flavor that can also be served warmed. Oh, this is also delicious. Forgot to take a picture...
The pop-up says there are only two kinds of sake, but they brought another bottle.
The third souvenir from the Okayama Marathon
I immediately bought a bottle of Bodai-Hashiroshi Gozenshu, which I had wanted to try, because it is a heated sake!
It was getting quite cold, so I had it lukewarm.
The color is a slight champagne gold.
It has a hint of acidity when served cold, but when heated, it is a nice, fluffy sake!
Good as a food sake!
Great sake!

When it was still hot
I found a SALE at a liquor store on SNS
I went there but it was already too late...
The one I wanted was sold out😭
After looking around and wondering what to buy
I had never had Okayama sake even though it's in a neighboring prefecture 💖.
Gozenshu (Tsuji Honten) had 3 kinds of sake
Bodai-moto Gorigori Sake Hi-ire, which I had often seen.
I was afraid to try it because I was afraid to drink it........
It was sold out on the net and I felt it was rare.
So I chose the most affordable one, the ︎︎🍀* Lady Cassin.
I bought it even though I knew I don't like raw sake.
It's only the Japanese who can't help but think it looks delicious if it has the word "Nama" on it.
Only Japanese people
And later I found out that it is also Bodhi Hashimoto 😂.

With the arrival of cold weather starting next week, I opened a bottle of this one that I bought in early summer.
The aroma is mild and melon-like 🍈.
The sweetness and umami come out on the palate, and the acidity tightens up the mouth afterwards, followed by a pleasantly fluffy aftertaste.
I paired it with mushrooms and tempura for dinner and it went well with them, making for a happy dinner. ☺️
Memorandum for myself
I went to Kurashiki for a family business.
I went to Kurashiki to buy some sake from Okayama Prefecture.
The aroma is not so strong, and the taste is slightly fruity with a strong acidity.
The sharpness is firm.
