Kikuhime Nigori Sake
The aroma is quite strong with a malted rice smell.
Very sweet! The rice taste is like rice cakes!
Kikuhime uses Yamada from the special A district for only a little more than 2,000 yen per barrel, which is a quirk of the Kikuhime company!
I heard that it tastes good with sansho sprinkled on it, so I will try it next time!
Purchased at a liquor store in Kasuga City
I had the impression that the sake was aged before shipping, so I was attracted by the word "nama-zake", which is the opposite of "sake".
(Immediately after opening the bottle)
Drink cold
Slightly colored but clear
Gorgeous aroma
Rich and mellow taste in the mouth.
Unlike other Kikuhime, it does not have the peculiar taste of aging.
Better with blue cheese than sashimi, etc.
The color of the rich umami-guchi sake is also golden!
Suitable for hot sake.
It was a habit-forming sake that you could drink slowly and savor its flavor.
It was delicious!
Strong umami. It is a matured sake, but it feels fresh because it is a nama-shu. I drank it warmed up, and the aroma of rice rose up so much that it was blissful. This is delicious!
This is Kikuhime, which I thought was "300% drinkable" last year.
It was a good opportunity to try it again. I decided to have it again.
What a surprise! It was an aged Kikuhime from the year 2008.
The owner said, "We can't drink it either.
It is golden in the glass.
And the aroma was rich in flavor. It was unique after all!
It was refreshing on the palate, but was a very thick sake!

日本酒の低温熟成に取り組む事業を掘り下げるため、前回は、千葉県千葉市の酒販店「IMADEYA」による「IMADEYA AGING」についてインタビューをお届けしました。そうした新たな動きの傍ら、低温による熟成に先行して取り組んでいる日本酒蔵も少なくありません。その中でも、1995年から長期低温熟成酒を商品化し、巨大な低温熟成庫を用意して、10万本余りのお酒を貯蔵しているのが菊姫（石川県白山市）です。低温貯蔵と常温貯蔵の両輪で日本酒の熟成の魅力をアピールし続ける菊姫の現状を探るため、現地を訪れました。SAKE Street | プロも愛読の日本酒メディア
