It has been a little late to open the bottle, but it has been a long time since we have had a Kangiku. Slightly effervescent and mild on the palate. Overall, it is calm. All Kangiku is delicious.
I drank it at the same time as the snowman,
Personally, I liked this one better because I could feel the nigorigo.
I could also taste the sweetness,
I could feel the sweetness and the fizziness of this one was delicious!
I would like to drink it again next winter!
Today I'm going to try the orikarami that I couldn't drink last year🎶🍶.
First, let's start with the supernatant 🎶😋😋The aroma has a gorgeous ginjo aroma, just like Kangiku🤤 ✨️🤤.
On the palate, it has a gassy, shwashy 🫧 feeling, sweet and juicy like a pear 🍐, and a slight bitterness at the end that is as delicious as I expected 🤤💕.
When lees❄ are involved, the aroma and taste are still calmed down ✨️ but it is still delicious 🤤😋😋.
I couldn't buy it without lees this year, but next year I still need to compare 🎶🤤.
Aizan" grew up at the foot of Awa Kenzan, hence "Ken Aizan".
In addition to the fruity taste typical of Kangiku
The rich flavor of the rice is very pleasant.
(It's so good!
The aroma is mild for a sake.
I imagined a fruity taste, but it is cocoa-like.
Personally, it tastes like cocoa.
There are other nutty-flavored sakes, but there are not many sakes with a gassy flavor, so this is unique.
It is very drinkable on its own.
Polishing ratio 50%, alcohol content 15%, 100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture
The aroma is not strong. Slightly fizzy. Sweetness and acidity come through on the palate. It is not a clear and refreshing Junmai Daiginjo, but a robust but not cloying sake that leaves umami in the mouth and finishes with a bitter taste.

Comparison of Denshogiku.
See the previous post for an explanation of Denshogiku.
This one is more carbonated. It is more carbonated than Densho-Kiku, but still has a slight effervescence.
The flavor trends are similar, but the orikomi (a sweetness) gives this one a more umami-dominant flavor and a longer aftertaste. Both are easy to drink and delicious.

Densho-chrysanthemum is an autumn chrysanthemum that is usually grown from summer to autumn, but is grown under electric lighting to adjust the time of shipment.
The name "Densho-Chrysanthemum" was chosen with the hope of "illuminating the long autumn nights of the drinkers like the light of Densho-Chrysanthemum".
The taste is dominated by acidity with a hint of sweetness. Slightly effervescent.
Although it is a pure sake, it does not have a heavy sake flavor, and is relatively easy to drink and delicious.
