Last year, I went to the liquor store to buy the Discovery series, but out of the four types, only NewSensation was not sold out😭
I was kind of curious about that, so I bought it this year!
This one is 90% polished Koshihikari rice.
It's 💦 fresh and shriveled on the palate!
It's sweet! No wonder it's a cold chrysanthemum 😚.
This is delicious!
Feels lighter than the 14% alcohol content, a dangerous thing that goes down smoothly!
Gently sweet, juicy 😋.
The creek is getting thicker and thicker...was it pooling at the bottom?
But when I think about it, is this sake? I don't care, it's delicious 🤣.
Sake is evolving, in a good way? I'm sure it's just a discovery!
I really think it would be even better if we could compare 4 different kinds of sake together...!
For now, I'm going to drink one bottle every year (for now) 😆.
Good morning, Takashi 😃.
I'm glad you enjoyed my first choice chrysanthemum 🤩I'm happy for you too 🥰.
Discovery series, I'm getting them too 👍This series is very popular and hard to get every year😅.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 😊.
It was already gone (sold out) from the store I bought it from online. HinaHanaMama, you got all 4 types 😆 I look forward to seeing your stuff 🥰 for next year's reference 🙂↕️
Good morning, Takashi!
I see you got the 90% Koshihikari Discovery you were interested in last year 🎵.
I have the impression that it tastes so good that I can't believe it is low milled rice 😋.
This is another series I would like to try someday 🤗.
An assemblage of Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku.
Lychee-like taste. The aftertaste is strong with a strong sake taste, while feeling the chirichiri sensation.
㊗️600 times check in👏
This August is my parents' first obon.
Once again, I can only thank my parents.
Cheers to my favorite restaurant, Kangiku-san.
Hoshikai is my favorite among Kangiku-san's. I was able to get it this year as well 🌈.
Fresh aroma, sweetness spreads quickly, and fruity acidity.
It is beyond delicious and impressive.
Good evening, Mr. Chiritotekin!
Congratulations on 600 check-ins 🎉.
Was it your first Bon Festival? I really have nothing but gratitude for my parents🍀.
Hoshikai-san, it really is a delicious drink 😋.
Good evening, Chiri and Tecchin😄Congratulations on your 600 check-ins㊗️🎊🎉Celebrate with my favorite chrysanthemum 🥂Great 👍I'm glad you're my best guess 🥹.
I hope you will continue to enjoy drinking ❣️
Good evening, Chiri and Tecchin! 🙋
Congratulations on your 600 check-ins! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sohno-Kangiku is delicious 👍.
It's the perfect sake for the first day of work 😁.
Congratulations on your 600th check-in✅🎊🎉, Chiri and Tecchin-san!
I thought it was a good sake activity as a milestone to get your favorite Kangiku and drink it with gratitude to your parents 😊.
At the moment of drinking, it has a lactic acidic aroma, a hint of gas, and a hint of banana, pineapple, and grapes, and it is very tasty and enjoyable to drink.
Sono Kangiku Discovery Series
Sake rice produced in Chiba Prefecture: So-no-Mai
The bottle almost flew open when opened!
It's a cloudy, fruity bottle with just the right amount of "pizzazz" and "sizzle".
It is cloudy and fruity!
It's nice to have a fresh sake in August already!
This junmai sake is made from Koshihikari rice grown in Chiba Prefecture with a polishing ratio of 90%. It is rare to find rice that has not been polished much. So it must be a New Sensation and a Discovery.
The lid blew off with a loud noise!
It's a great gas feeling!
I drink it!
It is tingly, fruity and sweet! Not much aroma, but very easy to drink and perfect for summer. I recommend it: ‼️
It seems to be limited, so don't delay!
Next in the OCEAN series 😋The top is fresh and green apple? 🤔🤔It is quite tasty when you drink it, and the rich sweetness spreads. It leaves a sourness, bitterness, and a chili-like gassy feeling. It is not a refreshing drink because it has a firm structure only for the original sake 🤔It tastes similar to Aomi 🤔It is good with a glass cup 👍It has a considerable sweetness and can be served alone 😓It can be served with fried Chinese pork, okonomiyaki style cabbage with egg, pumpkin stew◯The second day, the gas feeling disappears and sweetness and acidity become more pronounced. Pickles
A little thick ginjo aroma is smelled. When you drink it, you will feel a refreshing sweet and sour taste, and a chili gas feeling. The richness of the rice can also be felt. The richness and sweetness come forward. There is a core in the freshness, and I think it is a little more classical. ☺️ and pulls back with bitterness while leaving sweetness. It's good to drink it in a tin because it's dry 👍Buri-Sashi ◎Chinese vermicelli △On the second day, the acidity decreases and the sweetness becomes stronger. First day drink up 😁.
Kankik Ocean Ninety-Nine Horseshoe
Aroma like pineapple or mango and strong sweetness. Delicious. I drank it at Uoso and enjoyed it so much that I went back to 5.5 Tsubosan for another serving.
Mr. Yanagishita, the master brewer, originally worked as an aircraft mechanic for JAL at Narita Airport, but his attachment to his hometown of Chiba and his desire to "do work that only I can do" led him to the path of sake brewing. After joining Kangiku Meikozo in the beer brewing department, he was selected to be the toji (master brewer), despite his lack of experience, when the previous master brewer retired. He initially trained under his predecessor and is now in charge of sake brewing as a toji.
The name "Kangiku" is said to have come from the appearance of Kangiku (chrysanthemums that bloom in winter), which bloom strongly and beautifully even in the coldest season.
At the usual BAR (3)
I had half given up on this one because it wasn't available at the nearby distributor of Kangiku.
So we finally ordered this one✨.
The top aroma is of apples and pears.
The nose has the same apple aroma, and the gasiness in the mouth is pleasant and beautiful ✨.
The balance of sweetness, umami, and acidity is also very good, and the bitterness at the end is also a nice accent 😊.
The gasiness and umami are in particular well balanced, and while it is clean and refreshing, it is also voluminous, making it a highly complete and delicious cup 😋.
Good evening, Chirsta 😀.
I hope you are having a good time at the bar as usual 😆.
I'm not sure how I'll be able to find this sake from Kangiku, I've missed the future timing 🤣 It still looks balanced and delicious 🤣.
Hi ichiro18 😃
My checkup is over and I had the pleasure of visiting you again this week✨.
It was well balanced and had a beautiful sweetness unique to Sake Mirai 😊.
I really envy those who can drink this at home 😂.
Hi HinaHanaMama 😃
I was completely swamped at the Hoshikai the other day and started to drink (buy) Kangiku when I found it 😂.
How...😭
But I hope you can find some other rare sake to make up for it 🙏.
When I drank it flower-cooled, the sweetness was subdued and I felt a strong sourness and gasiness, but when I left it at room temperature, I felt a strong sweetness and a mellowness.
