Kangiku and Kenaiyama 50 Chronicle were opened 🎉.
Today is my favorite Kangiku, Kangiku Mama: ❣️
Refrigerator overflowing with new sake...
The fridge is jam-packed with Kangiku...
No time to be sparing anymore...
I must drink more and more Kangiku towards the end of the year💦.
So today, I'm going to drink Kenaiyama ❤️
I drank it last year, but I don't know how it was 🤔.
I think my husband raved about it...
Kenaiyama is a rare rice produced in Tokushima Prefecture 🌾.
I will be thankful to have it again this year 🥂.
First of all, the aroma!
Slightly sweet aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, the sweetness is less than expected.
From the mid-palate, astringency and bitterness appear along with a sense of gas, and the three intertwine with each other, finishing nicely.
No spiciness
Wow, it's delicious!
The sweetness is quite moderate among the chrysanthemums, and it has a mature taste.
The astringent and bitter taste is also the most assertive among the kangiku.
I am not good at bitterness and astringency, but this Kenaiyama has the perfect spoonful of flavor that even I can taste. ☝️
It goes well with meals, but it also has an unstoppable flavor that makes it easy to drink on its own.
If this is brewed with such precision and calculation, I think it's really brilliant. ☺️
I knew it!
My husband raved about it this year too 😉🙌
Good morning, cold chrysanthemum mama 😃.
It's hard if you don't plan ahead and think about the fridge 😅.
I've never had Kenaiyama sake, but the adult Kangiku is nice and calm and bitter ✨.
It's good that your husband is also a big fan of it 🥰.
Hina Hana Mama 🩷 Good morning, ‼️ looks delicious! I wonder if there is a connection between Ken Aizan and Aizan🤔It certainly has a sweet aroma and a hint of bitterness, the characteristics of Aizan! I would love to meet the Ken Aizan that Papa raves about 🥰!
Hi Kano😃Thank you for your comment...
I think Kenaiyama has the most un-chrysanthemum-like taste of all the chrysanthemums 🥹The fridge finally overflowed 😱....
Hi Kozou 😃Thanks for your comment...I see you use Kenaiyama and 寫楽 too! I'm learning a lot 📚I would love to compare them 🧐.
Rare sake rice, that's why it's such a pleasure to drink it 🥰.
Hello ichiro18😃Thank you for your comment!
It's a very bitter taste, but it's not bad at all 🤤It shows a different face of chrysanthemum 👍But what should I do with my refrigerator 😩?
Hi Pekho 😃Thank you for your comment!
This is Aizan grown at the foot of Mt. Kenzan. ❤️ I guess Aizan is not as sweet as it seems! In my opinion😅
I might recommend this one to you as well 😃It complements your food well 😃.
Sono Kangiku's OCEAN99 series.
The sweetness of Shiroginkai has been removed and it tastes more like sake. The sweetness in the mouth combined with the ginjo flavor is very tasty😋.

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 😋.

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 😌.
