wow! mildly sweet and silky smooth. Alcohol 16% futsu -shu so no milling. Karakuchi type. That's what the restaurant says but I only know it's good.

This sake is located at the pinnacle of Kiku-Masamune's sake lineup. It contains brewer's alcohol and no added sugar/acidifier. It is said to be dry, but what does dry mean? It can be served cold or hot, but the sweetness is even better when heated. Rice is sweet. If you don't have to add any additives, there's nothing wrong with it, and it's very well made. It does have what is called a sake smell, so if you don't like that, don't drink it. I buy packaged sake for cooking, but sometimes I drink it when I want heated sake.

Served warm from a 4/5 star empty bar in Namba. Not so bad but not the best.

Kiku-Masamune Kikumasapin
14-15% brewed alcohol 720ml, 700 yen range
Sometimes I have a craving for a paper carton sake. So this time, I went for Kikumasapin.
The first sip after opening the bottle.
It goes in thinly and smoothly. The taste is crisp and refreshing.
Yogurt-like acidity appears in the latter half. It doesn't have the cheap sake feeling that paper cartons tend to have. It's good, isn't it?
Kiku-Masamune was a shock when it came out in gimpak, but I couldn't say that I liked it because I was a little concerned about the fluty taste. This is a paper pack for eating, and I like it very much.
I thought it would be even better heated, but the flavor was not very broad. The label on the back of the bottle does not recommend heating it up.
By the way, the website says that this is a "sake with a traditional sake yeast" in the title. However, there is no such pin on the product page for the sake of the sake yeast. Which is it? The lactic acidity is like that of a sake made from a sake brewer's yeast.
Two types of yeast are used. Kokumi alpha yeast and Kikumasa yeast.
Kokumi α yeast is said to be Kikumasamune's original yeast that produces a dry taste.
It was blind tasted at the Kinshokai, but no one guessed that it was a paper carton.
Ping has been producing this yeast since 1983. It seems to be very deep.

Very smooth with a high viscosity feel. Tastes of sweet caramel pear. This is a dry sake, but doesn't finish feeling parched.

I finally ventured into the paper pack in search of an everyday drink. I was actually hesitant to buy it, and passed it up in supermarkets and convenience stores for about a month.
I drank it lukewarm and it tasted... delicious!
It has a pleasant sake feel in the mouth, rich and tangy, with a refreshing aftertaste that I felt was enough for my daily enjoyment.
I'm embarrassed to mention a photo of it amongst all the other beautiful and expensive looking sake, but I'm going to be brave and post it.

Just because it's reasonably priced and sold in packs doesn't mean you should underestimate it! The quality of this product is far beyond your expectations. It is the result of a company's effort that you can even feel its beauty. It is easy to drink and suitable for daily use as orthodox sake.
It has a soft mouthfeel and a mellow but light taste. The balance is just right and there is no habit.
The aftertaste retains the lightness of flavor, but the unique richness of sake lingers.
If you heat it up, it has a pungent aroma and a cleaner, mellower taste. It's textbook.
Overall score: 70 points (1 point for aroma, 3 points for mouthfeel, 3 points for taste, 3 points for aftertaste, 5 points for concept, good value for money, good uniqueness of the pack)

I wanted to drink this Kikumasamune (packaged sake) when I was reading The Science of Sake.
It's good hot.
I even feel a sense of elegance when I pair it with Marushin hamburgers.
