Purchased at Sunmart, a well-known local sake store in Nagaoka City.
It is a limited edition sake released on October 1 (Sake Day!) every year as an exclusive product of the Kikuhimekai, an organization made up of sake retailers who have direct dealings with the brewer. It is a limited edition sake released on October 1 (Sake Day!) every year.
The beautiful golden color and candy-like aroma of Kikuhime itself.
When drinking it, the mouthfeel is a bit more refreshing and easier to drink than the Yamahai Junmai we had before.
However, the rich rice flavor and alcohol taste came after that, making me think that I am drinking Kikuhime now! It makes you think, "I am drinking Kikuhime right now!
I am not sure what kind of differentiation is used to release this limited edition sake, but there is no doubt that it is delicious.
I think there should be a bottle of Kikuhime in the family.
I visit the Kyoto store often, but this is my first time at the Umeda store.
Kikuhime after a long time
At room temperature
Pale topaz color
Aroma of austere woody aroma and lactic acid like sour cream
Sourness and richness peculiar to Yamahai spread from the deep umami.
It has a long aftertaste.
It becomes fuller and sharper when heated.
