It tastes more intense and tastier than other Kikuhime I've had before.
It is a limited edition sake, so I can't drink it on a regular basis, but I may have to try it again.
Rice (domestic), Rice Koji (domestic), 100% Yamadanishiki, 65% polished rice, 15% alcohol by volume
It has a slightly golden color and a rich umami taste! We had it warmed and at room temperature.
It is rich but light. It is darker than "Hime" and has a strong acidity. It is more refreshing than "Harazake". In any case, it's great that it tastes this good for a regular sake, and it's a big help.
I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.
It is easy to drink and refreshing even when heated, and the low alcohol content of 14 degrees Celsius makes it light. It is light and light at a low 14 degrees, but the richness typical of Kikuhime can be felt and it is delicious!
Nigori sake is my favorite sake, as it competes for first and second place!
It is not too harsh for a nigori sake, but a little refreshing, and the soft sweetness and umami of the rice is delicious~!
Gentle nigori!
Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Kikuhime Limited Partnership.
Tsurunosato Nama-nare sake, Junmai-shu, limited edition.
I had been curious about this limited edition sake for a long time. I bought it because I thought I had no choice but to drink it if it was a rich, umami-rich, unadulterated sake.
The color of the label seems to change from red to gold to blue every year. This year's label is blue.
I will drink it cold.
The color is clear with a hint of yellow.
The top aroma is faintly sweet apricot bean curd, slightly nutty, and lactic acid bacteria.
In the mouth, it has a fresh, lively mouthfeel that is typical of nama sake.
The taste is smooth and elegant, with a gentle sweetness that spreads smoothly on the palate, while at the same time being voluminous and milky, as is typical of Yamahai sake. The flavor is a mix of overlapping flavors that can be enjoyed for a while on the tongue.
It is rich, umaguchi fresh, juicy and milky.
Oh, it's so delicious!
It's more than 90% umami, almost like it's made of umami.
The alcohol content is 19%, so it comes on strong.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malted rice (domestic)
Ingredient Rice: 100% Yamadanishiki from Yoshikawa-cho, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture (special A district)
Polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 19
Hi Nemuchi, ☔️
I've been curious about this one but was hesitant because of the price 🤔That's why the different colors on the label 😳
Almost delicious😍I'll bring it home when I see it 🤗
bouken, Hi 😊I've been wondering about it for a while and the moment I found it, I bought it without looking at the price 😁the label is from the internet 😅I'll recommend you this kind of sake, although it's not sweet and delicious, but delicious and tasty 😋.
This... you know what? Kikuhime one-cup 🤗.
One-cup has a strong image of when Heppoko hated sake... 😰😰. However, it's true! It's delicious! It's properly Kikuhime 😳😳😳. As stated on the label, Kikuhime is "rich and delicious". That's exactly what it is! (←The explanation is a bit confusing. (←Too much explanation. lol). Well...the concept of one cup has been completely overturned. 🙇♀️🙇♀️ It was delicious! Thank you for the food 🙏.
Hi Heppoko-san!
I have a bottle of "Kikuhime One Cup" in my cellar too 🥰.
I used to have an image of "Ozeki one-cup" too, but recently there are junmai daiginjos too, so the image has changed ✨.
Thanks for your comment, Jive 😊. Sorry for the late reply: 🙇♀️.
A good one-cup is a good thing 👍.
I have one chilling in the fridge and would love to take it out somewhere to drink! Trying to find the right timing. LOL!
My first Kikuhime!
It's a regular sake, but it's very rich and full-bodied! Warmed up, yum! Delicious and sweet! It's just so robust! To put it in a bad way, it's too much to drink 😅
