I've had my eye on this nigori for a long time, but it was sold out at my local distributor, and I forgot to reserve it at the online store of the liquor store I frequent 😭.
However, I was able to secure a bottle of Ginkai, so that's good!
Now, as for the taste, it has a fresh and invigorating aroma like pineapple on the nose and in the nose ✨.
When you put it in your mouth, the umami and sourness burst out, and the sweetness is just right without being too strong!
It is the most refreshing and fresh sake I have ever had from Kangiku, and I feel it is easy to drink👍.
Since it is an unfiltered, unfiltered, freshly squeezed, new sake, it has a strong gaseous taste and you will not get tired of drinking it. ☺️
From the middle to the latter half, you can feel the aroma of malted rice and yogurt-like richness, and it finishes with a sharp bitterness that is characteristic of Kangiku.
It is delicious 😋! Delicious 😋.
The ocean99 series is delicious no matter what you drink👍
I haven't had the Spring Nagi yet, but I personally found it to be right up there with the Summer Hoshikai.
Good evening, Chirsta!
Kangiku-san's Ginkai looks delicious 🤤.
I'd like to try the fresh new sake with the sharp bitterness characteristic of Kangiku's sake 🤤.
I would also like to try Shiraginkai 😋.
Good morning, Chirsta 😃.
Here we go!
I'm not going to open the bottle yet! I'm not opening the bottle yet because...I'm in a Kangiku traffic jam 💦 but I can't wait to drink the new sake 😥.
Good morning, Chirsta 🌞I missed both Ginkai and Shiro Ginkai 😩The popularity is growing so fast that it's hard to keep up with them 🥹But I love you, Chrysanthemum, you never betray me ❣️
Hi ma-ki-😃
The summer ocean99 series was delicious, but I think this one is the best in terms of freshness since it is a new sake 👍.
I also want to drink the white silver sea next year 🍶.
Hi HinaHanaMama 😃
I've always been a big fan of the summer Hoshikai from Kangiku, but this Ginkai is tied for the No.1 spot 😍
I understand 😅I know that there's a traffic jam of sake to drink since it's the new sake season.
Hi Nao888😃
Yes .... I see 🥺I'll definitely try next year 💪.
Kangiku is so popular that liquor stores said it's gone as soon as they get it in 😅.
The ocean99 series is especially good no matter what you drink✨
Densho-Kiku by Sumi-Shu Ver.
The bottle was opened quietly. The impression is that the sweetness is restrained for a Kangiku, and the juicy flavor of the rice is well felt, with a pleasant acidity and bitterness in the aftertaste.
Opened a bottle of Kangiku that was left in the cellar 😊.
It's been a year since I drank it😊.
True White is a sake brewed with Omachi ☝️
My wife is an omatist so we didn't drink it right after we bought it 😊.
I drank it right away and found it to have the sweetness and rice flavor typical of Omachi 🌞.
A little gas, ginjo aroma...delicious ✨.
In case you were wondering, it was a bit mellowed like hiyaoroshi after being in the cellar 😁.
Good evening, Kano-san!
I'm sure Kano-san drinks a lot of chrysanthemum 😁.
Your wife is an omatist 🎵
I was also looking for Omachi when I started drinking ⤴️
I'd like to try this one someday too 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki-😊.
My wife and I both like Chrysanthemum cold 😁.
Especially my wife ✨.
My wife is basically looking for Oumachi sake ☝️
I'm not particular about rice 😁.
Good morning, Kano 😃.
It's been a while since I've had a bottle of Kangiku 🥰❣️ actually, this is one I've been putting to sleep 😆 I feel like I've just lost the timing to open the bottle 😅 but I'm sure it's delicious no matter when you drink it 🥰.
Does this mean that winter is approaching?
It's the first time of the year that I've had the pleasure of seeing this season.
The sweet scent of the chrysanthemum is so sweet that I can't help but feel excited...
First of all, let's have the top clear sip!
The taste is intensely sweet and delicious, with a weak bubbling! I really like the taste 🍶 and the refreshing aftertaste continues...
If you add a drizzle of ori (ori)
The lactic acidity and umami increased, but the sweetness decreased...
After that, when the sake is boiled, the sweetness increases again...
The sweetness increased again, and it became my favorite flavor.
Personally, I like this flavor the best!
I personally liked this flavor the best!
It is a matter of taste, but basically, it tasted good no matter what time of day you drank it, so I was satisfied with the sake 🍶.
So...
This has nothing to do with sake at all.
As a supporter of a J-League team
I would like to say something as today was a special day for me.
26 years of connecting history
Promotion to J1 and a championship 🏆!
Congratulations to everyone involved with Mito Holy Hoc 🎊
Personally the best surprise in sports this year✨
I was so moved by it ⚽️
The game that decided the championship, but also the trip to Mito was the best snack for drinks while thinking how nice it would be to have a trip to Mito as well, that's the result theory (lol)!
Good morning, Nokoaki 😃
Denshikiku, one of my favorite cold chrysanthemums❤️ this year's is still sitting carefully in the fridge 💕 so much of a waste 🤣.
I see you like soccer⚽️‼️
Cheers to your special day with Kangiku 🥂.
Good morning, Hinahana Mama. ☀️ This is my first time drinking Denshogiku and I'm sure I'll repeat the experience! I wanted to buy Jukinmu with it but it's sold out💦 too bad...
I actually love soccer⚽️ so I couldn't resist today (lol)
I bought the electric chrysanthemum (the yellow one) again this year 🍶 This is the third year in a row as far as I can remember.
It has a sweet taste on the palate, and the umami spreads and thickens as it goes along. The ginjo aroma overflows from the glass as it is an unfiltered raw daiginjo-shu. This quality is the same every year.
However, I dare say that it is not a sake that is too rich and makes you drink more and more 🤔It may be good if you don't get drunk too much.

Mild sweet aroma, carbonation impact on the palate that could not be felt when the bottle was opened. The sweetness is slowly felt on the tongue through the carbonation. As it is swallowed down, bitterness and a slight acidity can be felt, but a slight sweetness lingers in the aftertaste. As the sake opens up, the volume of the sweetness increases, and the bitterness finishes the finish. The taste was to my liking, and I could drink it for as long as I wanted.

Yes, maybe good as a food sake with Japanese food, definitely delicious, but buried by the chrysanthemum-like taste.
Repeat 23, definitely good, but buried in the chrysanthemum-ness.
I went to the last Yoichi for this year. After the market is over, I guess I'll be ready for winter. ❄️ And here is what I chose to do on such a day. 💁♂️
Let's start with the standing aroma. Sweet and fruity aroma. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the gasiness, and the fresh, sweet and juicy flavor spreads in your mouth with a slight bitterness at the end.
Serve with Margherita 🍕. The moderate acidity of the tomatoes and the richness of the cheese are well balanced with the sweet and savory flavor of the sake, making it easy to drink. Delicious 😋I think it might go better with Western-style drinks.
