August is almost over...
It was a hot and humid day with no sound of autumn, so today I'm serving Kankoubai+!
I bought it just by looking at the label!
Basically, I rarely buy sake that claims to be dry, but... what do you think?
It starts off with a strong caramelized sweetness, and then it just goes straight into the bottle!
The bitterness is not that strong, and the aftertaste is more of a lingering sweetness.
It is a better sake to drink with something to eat than the Eiko-Fuji we had the day before.
Sake that is complete on its own is also good, but it is important to enjoy drinking it with something to eat!
Yes, this one is good!
Thanks again for your comments, Jay & Nobby 🥰.
I guess that's probably what the name implies .
I'm sure it would be great heated up and enjoyed in a variety of ways👍
Sake that feels like autumn
Today I served it with horse mackerel sashimi. It goes well with it.
When the bottle is opened, there is a nice popping sound and a little bit of a sizzle.

Gold medal🥇 winning sake
This is so delicious😋‼️
Fruity and noble taste 🏆.
Soft sweetness and fresh acidity from Yamadanishiki with a nice slight bitterness👍.
It was worth stopping by the sake brewery exhibition on my way home from work. When I heard about the 🥇 award from the brewery staff at the booth, I had to buy it 😍 and was able to purchase it on the spot in a timely manner 😊.

By the way, after I played in the final game of the baseball tournament ⚾️ the other day, every time I cough or sneeze, I get a throbbing pain in my side, so I went to the hospital later that day to get an x-ray to see if it was...
I knew it!
I had a broken rib 🩻😱.
I think I hurt it when I was playing defense and dived sideways to catch a ⚾️ batted ball 😇.
I was overzealous for my age😅.
Good evening, Ace.
That's a tough rib injury💦.
That is truly an honorable injury💦.
It may affect you for a little while, but please take it easy and make a speedy recovery🍀.
Kankoume's Junmai Ginjo is a well-balanced sake that goes well with meals 😋.
Good evening, ma-ki-...
It's really an injury of honor😅
But every time I see the trophy for the best player award 🏆, I feel that pain comfortably 😭 pervert 🤣⁉️
Kanbongubai 🍶Surprisingly!
De la uma 😘❗️ it is👍
Good evening, Pon-chan.
I went to the hospital 2 weeks after the match and I was drinking a little bit until then😅.
I thought my side hurts when I laugh, but I didn't think it was a fracture😅wahaha😂I'm fine now🙆.
Hi Ace 😃.
Gold Medal🥇 and MVP🏆 with ‼️ cold red plum can help with broken bones 😆.
I had a night long ago when I injured my knee🦵 with about 10 stitches🧵 I drank alcohol🍶 and plodded around in the economy😓.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🎶.
I've been overzealous and I have an honorary injury 🥹.
But the joy of the ⚾️ Outstanding Player Award 🏆 and the taste of the gold medal sake 🥂 has blown the pain away 😆👍
Your knee injury🦵 must have hurt like a plague😱I'm afraid of the power of alcohol😅.
I happened to find out by chance that Kankoubai, a sake I had secretly liked for some time, had won a gold medal, and bought it.
It is a sake that I would like to drink deeply, with the royal Yamada-Nishiki aroma and taste.
It is not too sweet, and I never get tired of drinking it.
Sake recommended by the waitress as an award-winning sake.
It has a very sweet aroma.
The aftertaste was also a little persistent.
It was too much for me.
60 points
I was too lazy to continue drinking the sake, so I held back and stopped 😅.
However...I was a little short on sake, so I bought some sake that I usually can't buy in Hiroshima...but bought in Tokyo🗼 when I went back home 😁.
It just arrived via Yamato 🐈⬛ and I was itching to get it lol.
I really wanted to get a bottle of Kankoubai Junginbai Yamadanishiki 50, which won first place in the Junmai Ginjo category at this year's Sake Competition 👑, beating out Jikin... but the time of the year? I couldn't buy it, so I bought a sake from the same brewery anyway 🍶.
And here is the first bottle opened 💁.
It's called TORECE13 from Kanbongbai 🤣.
The aroma is a moderately fruity ginjo aroma, and when you sip it, it has a sweet and umami taste with a slight bitterness... or not 🤔.
It is a hi-iru sake, but you can feel a slight juiciness.
It has a good balance and if you have a meal that is not too rich, it may not interfere with the taste as a food sake 👌
I'm curious to see the 2nd day taste change of sansudo and kanbonubai tomorrow 😁.
Kankoubai on the second day: 🗒️
No change in aroma, but a slight increase in umami ⤴️? There was no big change in taste, it was stable and tasty 🥰.
Recently, we have been seeing more and more names of KANKENBAI!
This time, we welcomed Mr. Owl!
Now, what does it taste like...?
It has a grape-like sweetness with a sour and bitter aftertaste.
Also, the sweetness stays for a rather long time.
It tastes even better when the temperature is raised a little, as it seems that the various corners become mellow.
It's good....after all....yummy!
I'm not sure if this is a mistake or not.
I deleted one of the two posts because they were the same... my apologies!
Good evening, Mr. Udonpan!
KANKENBAI is delicious, isn't it?
I am reminiscing about how it was a delicious sake that was not only sweet, but also dark and delicious 😋.
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki-.
I drink it with a deep feeling that it is made with a really good balance.
I still remember the shock when I drank it for the first time...it's a really good drink👍.
KANKOUBEI Junmai Ginjo ＋
A bottle with a label that does not look like Kankoume.
Slightly sour and bitter aftertaste.
A sake that does not disturb the meal but restores the appetite.
