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.
After opening, I couldn't tell if it was heavy or light, but the corners started to come off and it tasted exquisite 😋.
Moderate acidity and a robust flavor, yet light and pleasant on the palate ❗️
I think I would have enjoyed it a little more if it were in a bottle...
I'll buy it in a bottle next time👍
It's hot, Hokkaido is supposed to be free from heat and humidity!
So, here is the second one from the Obihiro expedition, the Kankoubai plum of Isekuni,
It popped when I opened the bottle and poured it into a glass.
I can see air bubbles on the wall.
The taste is a little sweet and a little fizzy.
It has no alcohol attack at all.
It is a good bottle to get drunk with a good feeling.

This time, KANKENBAI was stylishly designed with a design and brand name painted directly on the bottle and endorsement.
Despite being a junmai sake, it has a faintly refreshing aroma.
In the mouth, it has the feeling of a solid Junmai sake....
It is an easy-to-drink sake with a good taste of rice, moderate sweetness, and a slight carbonation.

Junmai Ginjo-shu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio 50%, ALC 15%.
Fruity aroma, with a muscat-like flavor on the palate. However, it is followed by a slightly dry taste, and the flavor of rice can be felt in this sake.

ma-ki-San Kanbongubai is becoming well known for its taste 😃 It recently won first place in the Junmai Ginjo Sake category of the "Sake Competition 2025". I hope it won't become a rare sake, and that it will always be available 😅.
Since it was after the last order, I thought I would have to pay the bill, but they allowed me to have one last drink! Not a cup, but a cup. The illustrated label of the day. It was delicious, with a slight gaseous taste. I'm getting drunk, so anything tastes good.

This is a summer sake made by Kankoubai. The penguin on the label is cute.
The aroma is not so strong.
It has sweet acidity and umami, but fruity sweetness prevails. The aftertaste is a little bitter and tight.
There is no sense of alcohol.
The fourth drink at my favorite Yakitori restaurant was Kankoume by Kankoume Shuzo!
NATSU SAKE this time
I was lucky because I had seen this sake at Sake-no-wa and wanted to try it!
So let's have it right away!
First, the aroma. Not much of an aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a refreshing bitterness from the beautiful umami.
The sweetness comes in the aftertaste.
It has a spicy and fruity taste, and this Kankoume is a very delicious sake!
Good morning, ma-ki- 😀.
I enjoyed the rabbit 🐇 from Kankoubai, so I'm curious about the penguin 🐧 as well, since it looks delicious.
I always refer to Mie Sake as I have not tasted many of them 😄.
Thank you, soumacho!
The rabbit is delicious 😋.
I got it after the Corona, so I want to try again next year🍀.
Penguin was a delicious sake, though not as sweet as summer sake 😋.
Thank you very much, Afio!
I was curious about this sake after reading your review, so I was lucky to be able to drink it 🎵.
It was a really tasty sake with a moderate sweetness, just like your review 😋.
Thank you, Jay & Nobby!
We didn't get to enjoy it at home, but we did manage to drink some Penguin 🎵.
It's a little less sweet and more refreshing than the previous Kankoume, but it went perfectly with the yakitori 😋.
