The rice is not sake rice, but edible Koshihikari rice!
And with a milling ratio of 90%, it is surprisingly free of any cloying taste, even though the rice is barely milled at all!
Furthermore, the fruity, mellow flavor and sweetness are well ✨.
The concept of this sake is to make a delicious sake from the rice you eat everyday, and this was truly a new and surprising sake 😆.
I opened a bottle of Kangiku Meijo's "Denshogiku Ooragarami Nama Nama Sake," which happened to be in stock when I stopped by Yajima Sake Shop last month.
It has a fresh aroma, crisp and clean, with a hint of bitterness and sweetness, typical of Kangiku. A slight gassy sensation further enhances the coolness.
As it is an ogara-mi sake, I expected it to be a little thicker and richer, but while this is certainly the case, the gasiness and light bitterness nicely refresh the taste, making it an easy-drinking, delicious, and dangerous sake.
We stocked up on a variety of sake for the end of the year and Christmas, so we'll be opening the bottles slowly and steadily. I am looking forward to it.
It's been about a year since I started getting into sake.
The new sake season is too much fun.
Thank you for your hard work for another year 🍶.
I don't know if it will last until the end of the year, but while shopping for sake for the New Year's holiday, I found a sake that I don't usually see, so I quickly took it home.
It is Hazhu Honor 50 from Kangiku's Occasional Series.
As the bottle opening warning on the bottle label says, the sound of the bottle opening is a pleasant pop. In the mouth, it has fine gas, elegant sweetness, and a gorgeous ginjo aroma, with almost no acidity or bitterness.
We enjoyed it with roast beef rubbed with maitake mushrooms while watching YouTube.
It was delicious. I almost wish I had saved some for New Year's.
Today is here🎶and since it's raining and there's nothing to do (lol) 😅, I'm going to have an early drink 🎶🍶.
This one was the automatic stirring type but I was able to open the bottle in 2 times, so I guess it's a little bit lackluster ❔🤔.
So I'll keep the supernatant 😭
Let's start with the aroma 🎶✨️It has a gorgeous, calpis-like ginjo aroma, just like Kangiku 🤤.
In the mouth, first the schwash🫧 feeling, then the adult calpis soda🥤 feeling, no 🎶it's as delicious as ever 😋💕I'm completely finished drinking it at this time of the day 😆.
Sono Shungiku OCEAN99 Shiroginoumi
The second nigori sake is Shiraiginkai.
It has a subdued lactic acidity and a sweet aroma of calm fruits 🌾.
We will start with the supernatant.
The supernatant has a mild umami with a strong shwash feeling and is quite refreshing 🥰.
When you mix in the oli, the sweetness of the rice becomes stronger and more calpis-like. ☺️
It's so refreshing, silky, and sweet that you can have it on its own 😳✨.
The alcohol taste through the nose is also amazing‼️
As it gets to room temperature, the sizzle fades, but the juiciness increases and the flavor becomes richer 😋.
Good morning, Afuio!
You've already tasted the standing bar and you're drinking Hakuginkai at home 😍.
I'm sure the Hakuginkai is also delicious 🤤.
It's a sweet taste that is both refreshing and can be enjoyed on its own 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki 😌.
This is the second Starbucks review 🥰.
Shiraginkai was a sweet & juicy with less acidity that stung like crazy 😋.
It was refreshing & deliciously juicy, as expected from Kangiku 😆✨.
It's the season of cloudy water♪ We will have a Junmai Daiginjo of Kangiku.
It was so fizzy that the sake shop owner reminded us to be careful when opening the bottle. It was not only sweet and tasty, but also elegant and refreshing.
The aroma is strong and
As soon as you take a sip, a sweet and slightly carbonated taste spreads in your mouth.
It is sweet, but the feeling that it comes with a punch is very impressive.
I got a bottle of 39 at Itami Airport, so I'm looking forward to opening it at the end of the year!
.
And the white silver sea ... 🤍.
After 5 or 6 times of struggling to open and close the screw cap, the bottle was finally opened💦.
This is the most vibrant nigori I've had so far this year 💃.
The aroma is not as strong as the Ginhai I just had⁉🙄🙄.
Now for the taste...
It has a strong sense of effervescence 🫧🫧😍, but while I can enjoy the unique nigori taste, the individual impact is a little less 🤔.
It's not a particularly acidic type, so you can't deny the monotonous feeling 😟.
I think the original flavor will be more apparent when the gas subsides a little 🤔.
I'll observe for a few days ☝️
P.S.
After 2 days, the gas is gone and I can taste the delicate flavor.
Silver Sea vs White Silver Sea
We drank Departure and SnowSea together on this day 😉.
They are not siblings as they have different specs, but they have similar names 🤣.
Let's start with Silver Sea...
Nice aroma wafting through the air 💓
Now the first sip... 🙄.
Light sweetness and very light on the palate✨‼️
It may be the freshness of new sake, but this may be lighter and sweeter than I expected 😋⁉️
It's delicious water☝️(my compliment👏)
This is the type of sake that you can drink so easily that you forget how much you drank⁉🤗🤗
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😆.
I'm a nigori lover, but this time I preferred the silver sea one in the drinking comparison: ‼️
I got the impression that there are few ups and downs in the flavor of both, the white one is sweet so the tightness is monotonous, and the silver sea one is light and sweet 🙄.
I like it when the fizziness subsides about 2 days after opening the bottle.
At room temperature, it becomes bitter and astringent, so it is better to chill it.
If you leave it in a bowl for a day, it loses its juiciness and becomes a sweet sake, but if you leave it in the bottle, the juiciness remains.
