Sono Kangiku's OCEAN99 series.
The only nigori in the series. It was so fizzy that it stirred as soon as the bottle was opened, so I had high expectations even before I sipped it 🤩 and it was great to drink. Very tasty 😋.
100% Gohyakumangoku grown in Chiba Prefecture
Polishing ratio 50%.
Kangiku OCEAN99 Series Ginkai-Departure- Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-shu
The ginjo aroma has a pear-like rice aroma.
When you drink it in a sake bowl, it has a smooth texture and a clear acidity that gently spreads and combines sweetness and deliciousness.
The soft, tangy acidity is layered with sweetness and umami.
The soft, tangy acidity can be felt in the middle part of the bottle, and the umami and sweetness that follows like a wave leaves a moderate aftertaste in the aftertaste.
Capsicum tends to have bitterness, but I always feel that there is not much bitterness in Kangiku.
This is a matter of taste, but I think there are many people who like it.
It appears to be a junmai ginjo, the first new sake from Kangiku, a seasonal brewery. The aroma is fresh, the mouthfeel is sweet with little acidity, but it is relatively crisp and seems to go well with food. The price is not too expensive!
A crazy awesome gas feeling!
I almost blew up if I wasn't careful!
The taste is of course great, with plenty of silky nigori and sweet juicy chrysanthemum.
I drank Ginkai a while ago, but I think I prefer this one.
Kankiku Ocean Ninety-Nine Hakuginkai
The only nigorigo of Kankiku. Lactic acid bacteria soda-like as written.
Mr. Yanagishita, the toji, 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), even though he had no 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.
I thought about which sake to pair with the raw fish of the Walasa we caught.
I chose this sake,
I chose Kangiku's new sake.
The sound of opening the bottle was as good as ever,
It is a proof of its vigor.
It is gorgeous and juicy on the palate,
It has a well-balanced taste with just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, and the gasiness makes it very easy to drink. It is delicious.
I was going to drink it in small sips, but it soon became empty.
I made a reservation and bought it at Nihon-ya. This is one of my favorite Kangiku, so I can't miss it! I didn't drink it immediately after purchasing it because I have been having more opportunities to drink classic sake recently, so I wanted to keep a good balance.
When I opened the bottle, the lees started dancing and I thought, "Is this going to blow out? I was surprised because I had never experienced this with Shiraginkai, or rather, Kangiku. I don't need to tell you how good it tasted, but I drank all of it in one day due to the problem of the refrigerator 😓I'll just say it was the last tasting before my health checkup 😌.

This year, for the first time, I tried a 39 from Kangiku Meikozo, a sake brewery that is the pride of Chiba Prefecture, where my parents live. The aroma is subdued, but in the mouth it tastes like juicy, sweet pineapple. It is crisp and not at all sweet. The moderate gasiness is also pleasant. It is very tasty!
OCEAN99's Hakubinkai, which I couldn't get last year.
It says be careful opening the bottle, so I slowly open the lid, no spillage, success.
It smells like apples, looks quite gassy, and carbonated bubbles stick to the glass.
The mouthfeel is mild, and when the accumulated nigori is mixed in, the milky taste increases and the deliciousness doubles.
Once again, we realized the deliciousness of Kangiku.
