Shizuoka Sake Tasting: Oomuraya Brewery- Wakatake Onigoroshi Tokubetsu Honjozo Genshu Nama

Every year I make a point of tasting this famous brand by Oumuraya Brewery in Shimada City: Onigoroshi!

There are many Onigorshi/”Kill a Goblin” in Japan, but this is arguably the most celebrated!

When you consider the alcohol content, the dryness and the lack of pasteurization, you need this to kill one!

Rice milled down to 60%
Dryness: + 9
Acidity: 1.３
Alcohol: 17-18 degrees
Bottle in May 2014

Clarity: very clear
Color: Faint golden hue
Aroma: Dry. Greens

Taste: Aggressive approach backed up by pleaaant alcohol.
Dry, Fruity.
Lingers on for a while, warming up the back of the palate.
Apricots, almonds, macadamia nuts.
Takes on an even drier turn with food.
Stays strong all the way.

Overall: Solid and straightforward, this is a very dry and strong sake for the “Macho sake” lovers!
The perfect complement to a BBQ or heavy izakaya gastronomy!
