おさまとい
This is the sake that started my sake journey. I ordered it when I found out that the oldest (!?) sake brewery in Japan, with a history of over 850 years since the Heian Period, was located in an area I was familiar with. The Junmai Sake brewery in the area I was familiar with was located in the Heian Period, and I ordered it. The junmai glass I received here expanded my world of junmai sake.
[Junmai glass]
Aroma: Clean, but with a hint of fine rice.
Taste: Sake has a robust, rounded flavor. After drinking, the aroma of rice can be felt in the back of the throat. My companion described the taste as "a bit rustic" and "earthy" (figurative).
Compared to "Yusuraume," which has an impressive aroma of young melon, and "Kazan," which has an aroma of wild plants such as cypress and herbs, I got the impression that the Sudoh family is pursuing an orthodox style of sake that is not influenced by the current trends. We also tried the nama-shu, but the hi-ire sake was superior in terms of stability.
