Okunokami純米 おりがらみ
Savanna
A reminder of the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
One of the most memorable brands I drank for the first time in 2022 was Yamori.
I got a bottle of Orikagarami, so I entered it in the starchy picks and made it my New Year's Eve drink.
When the bottle was opened, there was a slight fruity aroma.
The amount of lees is normal.
My first impression upon drinking it was lychee!
Although it is 70%, the finish is clean and refreshing, like a ginjo sake. This light-bodied feeling is what I like about Yamoru.
There is almost no resistance to the alcohol, and the lychee is swallowed up smoothly and easily.
I was told that you can also enjoy the change in flavor, so I let it sit for two days before drinking.
The sweetness was still there but sharper, and it went quite well with New Year's dishes such as sashimi and meat.
It was hard to say whether it was better or worse than freshly opened, and both were delicious.
Yamamori, please protect our home for another year (don't make wishes on sake, lol).
