＜Thin and tangy, with a hint of sour sweetness and a hint of bitterness.
This sake is made by Kangiku Meikozo and is limited to Chiba Prefecture.
The aroma is softly rice flavorful. There is a hint of sweet and fruity, but the aroma is not so strong.
The mouthfeel is thick and carbonated. The mouthfeel is a sweet-sour sweetness from the sour-sweetness of muscat. But then, the bitter alcohol cuts through it nicely. Yum!
The alkyl acidic aroma gives a cute twang to the nose, and the aftertaste is bitter-sweet. And before you know it, it's gone.
It has a bitter taste, but that is the only reason why it seems to go well with meals.
I haven't had a chance to dig too deeply into Kangiku-san, but when I compare it to the ones I've had so far, the sweet-swirling part is similar, but the bitter aftertaste is a little bit different. But they are both delicious.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be Ursula from "The Witch's Delivery Service. She is a painter. She lives in the forest during the summer. It's fresh, but it's not sweetness is not in the foreground.
