Drinking at home. I finally got into the realm of bottles that one person can't easily drink alone 😍We were greeted by Kangiku, a sake to support the Noto Peninsula earthquake recovery efforts.
The sake was a special 1800ml version of the "Pray for" Nakadori Hi-ire, which was released at the end of the year, in an unfiltered, unpasteurized version.
Kangiku Meikozo is a sake brewery in Kujukuri. The company received support from Chiba Prefecture when the prefecture was hit by the earthquake and tsunami, so they decided to donate a portion of the sales as a relief fund to the victims.
This is an unfiltered, unpasteurized, unblended junmai daiginjo-shu bottled with only the "arabashi" and "hitame" portions of the rare "Aiyama" rice polished to 40%, and has a wonderful refined flavor and aroma from the use of M310 yeast.
The brewer's and distributor's wishes are expressed in this sake, which will bring a sense of peace to those affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
Pray for" was originally intended to help the drinker have a healthy holiday season and start the next year. We respectfully ask that you take the time to enjoy it.
This sake was given to me as a year-end greeting. It's a good sake, it's delicious ❗ Thanks 🙇
The color is transparent, and the aroma is like a citrusy lactic acid drink. When you put it in your mouth, it's a little bit thick, with a round sweetness, a slight bitterness, and a spicy throat feeling🤔.
Thank you for making it through the year without incident ❗.
