Due to personal circumstances, I ordered my sake in October 2024 and did not actually receive it until May 2025. Nevertheless, it remains the most surprising sake ever! It goes well with a variety of foods and is very easy to drink straight. Importantly, the flavors do not deteriorate after six months of standing, but rather retain their elegance. When I finished this bottle, I made up my mind to try all of Kangiku Shuzo's products (I later learned that Kenaiyama was already among the best, lol).
Available for repurchase: ★★★★★★
After the umami flavor spreads quickly in the mouth, it fades away in a light and refreshing way. A perfect drink for the end of summer. Enjoyed with sashimi. Delicious.
This is a series of Discovery brewed by Kankiku Meijo. This sake uses Yamada-Nishiki and Gohyaku-mangoku, representative Japanese sake rice species. I was surprised to so fruity and sweet tastes and aroma, which doesn't need any side dishes for it. Really love it but maybe hard to get.
Gorgeous aroma like tropical fruits, sweet and juicy. Maybe I'm being pulled in by the label image, but I think it's best when drunk chilled on a summer night 🌠All of Kangiku's Ocean series are delicious.
Very refreshing and clean. The mouthfeel is very lightly fruity and sweet with a ricey aftertaste. The aftertaste is clean.
First time drinking sake without a glass, so I'll make do with a beer glass for now.
