This is the green label version. It is the opposite of the red label and is said to be sweeter. I would like to ration it to a house party and compare the two.
It was procured at Takashimaya in Namba. It is a red-label version of the same local, locally produced, locally consumed Okura-san as Kamikamiya. It is going to be in the home-drinking hall of fame.
A colleague of mine was leaving the company to take over the family business, and I gave it to him as a parting gift. Although it was a jacketed item, he was pleased with the cosmetic box and the elaborate design of the label.
When I had to go to Osaka, I procured this jacket in the basement of Takashimaya in Namba. I was attracted by the sexy lady and bought a packet. I gave it as a gift to my drinking buddies and received positive feedback that it was delicious and could be consumed quickly.
I found it at my local Ricaman and bought a packet. It was sweeter than Hakutsuru blanc and Himezen, and I thought it would be a good salty wine to drink on the rocks.
We were invited by Chii Mama, a kappo-ryouri (Japanese cooking restaurant) that we have been serving, to have something quaint and different. Perhaps it is because the area around the storehouse is a place that brews vinegar, miso, etc., or perhaps it is because of the area's history of brewing vinegar, miso, etc., I felt a sense of sourness rather than smoothness.
It was served at the end of a dinner party. It is a neighborhood of the kappo-ryouri (Japanese cooking restaurant), and is a neighbor of Takanomu and Kuheiji.
It was brewed to support the Noto Peninsula earthquake recovery efforts and is very valuable. It was called for at the end of the meal and was very palatable.
This is a rare gem from a brewery in my hometown, Izumisano, with a rice polishing ratio of 90%. It is a hall of fame item for the sake drinking at home.
