A gift. The fancy aroma spreads in the mouth. The crisp acidity makes it easy to drink. When heated, the aroma expands even more and it goes well with strong dishes.

It was hot... in May... in Saitama Prefecture too. There were some extremely hot days 🤣. On the last day of GW, I went to a shopping mall on the way home from a movie with my wife. I went to a shopping mall to do some shopping. We wandered around Cardi's. Sake. Ice sake? I thought it would be good when it gets hotter. I tossed it in the back of the basket. I had it waiting in the freezer, but I didn't realize how quickly it would crisp up. It was hot, so I decided to finish it off with a dessert. Adult sherbet Naoshichi is a brand of citrus fruit from Kochi. It's good to have in the freezer from now on. ⭕️ The manufacturer is Kikusui Sake Brewery. No, it's from Kochi, so it's from here.

Extra from Kikusui Sake Brewery at Niigata Sake-no-jin This is a free gift from Kikusui Sake Brewery at the Niigata Sake Festival. I was impressed that the free gift was generous and the sake tasting was also delicious 🤔I will visit again next year! I have the impression that although I drink relatively little Funaguchi, I haven't had much luck with white canned sake until now! I immediately opened the bottle 🍶It's delicious😊. Compared to FUNAGUCHI, I get the impression that it has a mellow and crisp flavor🤔The other one has a rough flavor, but this one has a quiet flavor too! Personally, I prefer Funaguchi. I feel like Kikusui's sake in aluminum cans tastes 20% better if you drink it in the aluminum can... Thank you very much for your hospitality...

We drank this sake at a local popular pork cutlet restaurant. The freshly pressed, unpasteurized sake is quickly frozen and packaged in a drinkable size. The fresh, fruity flavor of the freshly pressed sake is concentrated in the bottle. It has a refreshing, clear flavor, and the tonkatsu restaurant here serves it with a flaky batter that overturns preconceived notions, and the meat is plump and full of juices, making it the perfect match for the tonkatsu.

A sake brewing company in Shinbuta. According to my friend, he got it as a hometown tax payment. The sake is a bit peculiar, but it is still Niigata's sake and easy to drink. Personal preference: ☆☆☆☆.5

Chrysanthemum Bay (Kikusui) It has been a long time since I drank it, but it tastes good. It is high in alcohol content, so if you drink it in large gulps, you will suffer. It has a good balance of sweetness, spiciness, and acidity. It has a full-bodied taste that spreads to the palate afterwards. The aluminum bottle is a big help because you don't have to worry about it breaking.

It is a sake from Shinobata City, Niigata Prefecture. You can find it in the one-cup section of most supermarkets. I often see it, but this is my first time to drink it. It goes in smoothly and gracefully. The sweetness is well balanced by a spiciness that is a bit intense. The sweetness is well developed and the spiciness is a bit intense. The sweet aroma and refreshing spiciness are pleasant. How about when warmed up? The sweetness drifts gently and softly, and the spiciness rises to the surface while it remains cool and refreshing. When paired with snacks, this spiciness quickly disappears while accepting the snacks. The lingering spiciness softly lingers in the mouth. It is pleasant to finish the drink with a gulp!

Huge green apple flavor all the way through. Texture was nice and soft with good depth. Can't remember much more as I was dining out.

Okan's present sake series. Today I chose Kikusui. I didn't know there was a Kikusui in Tosa. I didn't know that😓I expected some sweetness since it is a junmai ginjo, but it was very dry. Sometimes it is nice to drink sake at room temperature. It's a single-batch bottle, so it's easy to open 😄.

A delicious Junmai Daiginjo made from 100% Kikusui rice. Perfect pairing with Madai and Chutoro sashimi. Finishing is delicate, dry and fruity.
