50th Anniversary Sake, first drink. Smells like green tea ice cream. Lactic acidity as the temperature rises. It is smooth, with the sweetness of rice, spiciness, and a firm taste in the middle, and the strength and bitterness of the alcohol give it a sharp taste. It is delicious and appetizing. Try it on the rocks as recommended. The sweetness stands out, and the bitterness and lactic acidity give it a refreshing kick. There is a gentle flavor of rice in the middle.

Specific labeling: Honjozo Nama-no-Genshu Rice polishing ratio 70%. Alcohol content 19 It is a shame that people who have been drinking sake for a long time do not know about this easy-to-drink sake. I don't know why they can sell the sake at room temperature, but that's okay. Let's go. I smelled a sticky sweet smell. After the soft brewing water, which is rare for Niigata, the spiciness and richness of the sake is very strong. This is pleasant in its own way. The sharpness is also very strong and effective. The alcohol content is high, which explains why it is recommended to be served on the rocks. It was delicious. Thank you again for this evening!

This sake was given to me by a relative in Nagaoka, and is a little bit strong at 19 degrees Celsius, so it tastes a little tangy in the mouth at first, but it has more than enough flavor and acidity to keep you drinking it. The sake is made from 100% Niigata sake, but that is to be expected from a Niigata sake brewery.

We went to a sushi restaurant in Kisogawa, Aichi that has been in business for about 45 years and is a local favorite😍. While we were eating sushi, I asked if they had any sake and they offered me Kikusui! It felt soft on the palate but spicy when swallowed! It's great to drink from noon ♡♡♡!

Niigata Prefecture. Shinobata City. Kikusui Sake Brewery Co. Kikusui Honjozo GI NIGATA I received a set of seven one-bottle bottles, so I drank them. Here is the fourth bottle. It is served cold. The color is clear and almost colorless. The initial aroma is mainly alkaloa, but it has an unusual perfume-like aroma. (I don't have the vocabulary to describe it...) The mouthfeel is mild and smooth. It has a well-defined taste, but it is also very umami, with a sweet taste and a strong umami flavor. After swallowing, the aroma in the nose is nutty, and while the umami spreads, it is also slightly spicy and crisp. It doesn't have the gusto of a Funakuchi, but it is just right, and even when served with alcohol, it is delicious enough. I had it after a bottle of Ebisu Beer with an illustration of a beautiful woman by Hirohiko Araki 🤩. Ingredients:Rice, rice malt, brewing alcohol Ingredients: 100% Niigata rice Alcohol content: 15%.

Cold: Rich sweetness and umami, but easy to drink. As expected of Kikusui! Easy to drink. Although the aluminum can protects the taste from ultraviolet rays, it was not a good idea to keep the new sake until this time of the year.

Chrysanthemum Festival (the 9th day of the 9th lunar month) (one of the five annual festivals) A famous sake that can be drunk anywhere to everyone's surprise. You have to experience its greatness from time to time. Sake lovers should know how great it is that this has been around since 1972. Rating 4.0 (out of 5.0) 20231102

Far right side facing me. Nose is dead but I think the aroma is good. It's clean and dry. Delicious! I didn't know that freshly brewed sake was so tasty. I think it's my favorite among the three. I can drink this alone easily.

Recommendation! The flavor of Funaguchi is still there, but it is well sparkling and easy to drink! Salmon and barley.
