Warehouse Review 99
This is the first time since the 2 stars of Cho Oroku and the 3 stars of Yaxu that we have had Oroku itself. It is a muddy sake in its purest form. In fact, I've heard that the taste of Oroku, like Abe, varies a bit depending on the brewing lot, and if I like it, I'll buy another lot (if they sell it).
Surprisingly, it tastes sweet and sour at first! It is also very tasty with a milky taste due to the cloudiness...! I have the impression that this populace, which seems to be loved by everyone, is close to super royalty.
The strong bitterness, which is typical of Ohroku, suddenly appears and makes you say, "This is it! If you drink it early, you won't feel the bitterness so much.
What should I drink it with? If you drink Ohroku, you have to enjoy the bitterness! Of course, it goes well with grilled swordfish with the liver and bitter gourd stir-fry. On the other hand, sweet fried tofu with sweet and sour sauce is also good.
Personally, I feel that with strong bitter sake, resetting the palate with a chaser after each sip reduces the bitterness and makes the next sip more refreshing. From the point of view of people who are weak against alcohol, I think it is better for them to be less intoxicated.
