This is my favorite Kukai Inflight that comes out in early summer.
It is an unfiltered, unfiltered sake that has been fire-aged once. It has the goodness of being fire-aged. It has moderate acidity, fine sweetness and umami. It has a juicy image.
It seems to be good to drink it with a strong taste from now on.
The juiciness of the concept, the refreshing sharpness, the change of the season, this is a bottle that can be enjoyed just like that.
When I opened the bottle, I wondered if it was fizzy from a slight sizzling sound. I thought it might be fizzy, but surprisingly, I was able to open the bottle peacefully when I opened it.
Enjoying the sweet and pleasant aroma, I put it in my mouth.
The sweet taste of the sake was followed by a pleasant and refreshing aftertaste.
It was the lightest of all the Ocean series I have tasted so far.
I wonder if it is inspired by the early summer season. I thought so🍶.

★★★★★
The fruity flavor is outstanding compared to any other Kangiku I've had, and the umami, fruity flavor and aroma seem to keep spreading!
The slight fizziness immediately after opening the bottle also adds to the ease of drinking, making it outstandingly delicious!

Kangiku Occasional Silver Lining.
Junmai Daiginjo So no Mai 29 Unfiltered Nama-shu.
The rice produced in Chiba Prefecture is polished to 29% Sounomai.
The tropical, pineapple-like aroma and gaseous sensation on the top of the palate give it a refreshing impression.
It has a clear and refreshing sake quality, but is rich in sweetness with a berry-like flavor, providing an interesting contrast.
drinking at home
Nagareki Kangiku! Not only 👍sweet, but also refreshing and sharp✨. It's good to drink 🧊 when it's cooled down. Also good for summer🌊 barbecue! 👌
At Sake Bar Nami in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture.
I can only thank the master for his thoughtfulness. Thank you very much.
This sake is distributed only in Chiba Prefecture.
He kept the bottle unopened for me, a lover of Kangiku.
This sake is brewed with all Chiba rice.
The aroma is sweet and fruity.
The balance between sweet and gaseous taste and fresh acidity is exquisite. Easy to drink. Kangiku no doubt👍.
The moment you put it in, it bubbles up and you think it's sparkling.
The aroma is refreshing. It has a sour taste, but I feel more sweetness.
The taste has a refreshing sourness, astringency, and bitterness.
It is crisp rather than sweet.
Ocean Ninety-Nine Hakuginkai
Cold chrysanthemum is delicious
It is inspired by Kujukurihama beach.
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 a job that only he could do led him to the sake brewing industry. 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.
It's been a long time since I've tasted Kangiku. The thickness of the mouthfeel is different.
It is fire-aged, but it has a gaseous feel and bubbles in the glass.
It is sweet, but not too sweet, and has a refreshing sourness that makes it very easy to drink.
Denshogiku is also good, but I personally prefer this one.
It is a popular brand and very tasty 🤤.
