It seems to be more modern, but it has a classic, slightly spicy
A little spiciness and aftertaste leave a lasting impression.
I would like to compare the back and front side of the bottle.

Kankoubai, from Tsu, Mie Prefecture, is a summer sake with a cute penguin label.
This is my first time drinking Kankoubai. Slightly fizzy and refreshingly fruity with a sake-like flavor. The finish is light and dry with a hint of bitterness.
As the label suggests, it is a refreshing summer sake that goes well with Western food.

Thank you, Jay & Nobby 😊Thank you 😊First time for Kankoubai, it was as good as it could be, only 1st place 🥇 Junmai Ginjo in this year's Sake Competition: ❗️

This is the first time I've had it, and it's not the fruity taste that's so popular these days, but it doesn't disappoint old-time sake drinkers!
I think it's a 14yo or Izumikawa strain.
I was hooked.

We received Hatsukarubai Ume (red plum blossoms) for the first time!
I found Penguin's Kanken Ume that Jay & Nobby reviewed a while ago, and I thought, oh! I thought, "Oh!
When poured into a glass, it has a fresh and juicy fruity aroma reminiscent of apples and pears, but the aroma is well-balanced so that it accompanies your meal without being overpowering. ☺️
When you put it in your mouth, it is characterized by a light and refreshing mouthfeel, and you can enjoy a slight taste of white peach 😌.
The acidity is soft and perfectly balanced with the sweetness, and the aftertaste is clean and crisp with a light lingering aftertaste that goes great with rice✨.
Unlike the appearance on the label, it had a sharp impression of a light and dry type 😌.
Also, if you look closely, you can see "kankoubai" written in katakana on the penguin's chest hair, which made me grin 😆.
Penguins, not to be underestimated ☺️✨

Good morning, Mr. Afio!
Congratulations on your first Kankoumei 🎉!

The label is cute too 🥰.

Hi Jay & Nobby, ☺️

A summer-only sake that is perfect for the upcoming hot season, coupled with the cool name "Penguin" from Kankoubai, is now in stock! The aroma is mild, and in the mouth, there is a slight gasiness and citrusy, refreshing, juicy acidity. The light yet moderately spreading umami flavor will keep you coming back for more. Enjoy it with abalone, turban shells, and sashimi of the first bonito of the season.

When we bumped into Mr. Ars at a tasting event at a liquor store last month, he told us about a picture on his smartphone saying, "This is delicious! When we bumped into Ars at a liquor store tasting last month, he told us "This is delicious!" with a picture on his phone. ‼️ Nobby immediately got it because it was sold at the liquor store closest to our house.
Last weekend we drank a lot at the prefectural party 😅I had to take a break from drinking since the following Sunday 😓.
So it's been a while since I've had a sake 🤗 When I opened the lid, I felt the energy of the penguins 😁 as if they were pushing up from below.
I'll make love to you
The aroma is mildly fruity 😌.
I'm going to take a sip and yes, yes, yes! I see 🤔
You know exactly what we like 😍
The citrusy flavor from the slight spurt is juicy and acidic, and then it goes sweet and tasty, but then it finishes with a bitter acidity 😙.
A delicious bottle that is difficult to navigate 😆.
The label is a cute penguin🐧, but the taste is clean, dry and sharp, reminiscent of an emperor penguin 😙.
Now, let's talk about the sake at the meeting 🤗.
The teacher asked me, "What would you like to drink next? I asked Mr. Ars to choose for me! I asked him.
I asked him, "Do you have Miyamanishiki? It was nice of him to order by sake rice instead of brand name 😄.

I went away and bought it at the only dealer in the prefecture, as it was the first place winner in the Junmai Ginjo category of the Saké Competition 2025. It has a sweet aroma like strawberry milk. It has a good balance of sweet richness and lightness with a slight carbonation and acidity. The second half is heavy with a strong bitterness and the fullness of the rice.
