Koueikiku's natural lactobacillus brewed Ikumochi 2022BY 🍶. I opened it last autumn because I heard it was better to let it sit for a while, but the balance was not good, so I kept it in the fridge for another half year 😅. The first aroma is sweet with a hint of acidity, which is typical of natural lactobacillus brewing (Yamahai). When you taste it in your mouth, it has a full-bodied sweet and sour aroma that is typical of Yamahai. However, it is not that heavy like Koei Kiku. It was quite delicious 🍶✨️

Good evening, Matsuchiyosan! I opened a bottle of 2022BY unfiltered draft last year and let it sit for another 6 months 😋. I wonder if it can be aged without losing its shape if it's a Yamahai or something like that 🧐.

Good evening Kotaro🍶. When I opened it last fall, it wasn't so good 🤣 lol. I guess real Yamahai never goes bad. I guess it's a testament to Mr. Toji Yamamoto who used to make solid Yamahai during his Kikutaka days.

The same is true of Sanko Tenpyo and Takagaki Toji's Okuharima, which I have posted in the past, but the real thing is different.

An interesting sake that comes with nice complexity. On sight it gives a yellowish color - some hint on its taste. On nose it comes with some fresh chees or mozarella cheese, with slight umami hint. The sourness on palate is pleasant though it os quite significant. It wont make you feel awakward but actually blends quite well. Slight nutty and umami feel at the end.

Purchased at my usual liquor store. A colleague at work who loves sake raved about it, so I became interested and decided to buy it. The aroma before drinking is sour and vinegar-like rather than citrusy. It has a light effervescence and tastes delicious. The aftertaste is particularly citrusy, but the normal feel on the tongue might be a little closer to a white wine? This is my first or second time drinking Kouei Kiku, but I think I like it better than the last time I drank it. Alcohol content 13%.

Alcohol content: 14%. Saga no Hana Rice polishing ratio:undisclosed At a sake meeting in Tokyo. Koei Kiku is often seen at sake shops these days. The aroma is closest to grapefruit. As the name suggests, the taste is citrusy with a predominance of acidity, such as green apple and lime. The next taste is sweet and umami, and in general, it is a refreshing and easy-drinking sake.

Remove the cover and open the bottle with a spontaneous popping sound when you touch the crown. There is a feeling of gas. The juicy sweetness, acidity, and rice flavor can be felt. The impression of lactic acidity and grapefruit-like acidity intensifies when the cask is mixed.

The very scent of orange 🍊 Sweet and sour and gentle 😉. Slightly shwashy but also pleasant 🎵 Refreshingly fruity, all the way through the mouth is orange 😄. Aftertaste with bitterness to tighten up the whole experience: 👍️

Again, Hiroshima business trip: ❗️ Last day... You can buy them in Kitakyushu, but I bought my favorite one, Dusk Orange 😆. Kouei Kiku tastes great even after a few days 😆. I drank it slowly over 10 days 😆.

20250420 It's been two years since the first release of this product, so it's the first time for me to try it. It's a juicy green apple type, but with a strong acidity (^_^;) Thank you very much for your kindness.

When poured into a glass, the color is pale amber. The fruity top is muscat 🤔🤔Including it, the gentle sweetness spreads as it is in the aroma, and the refreshing acidity leaves. There is a slight thickening and you can feel the richness in the light mouthfeel. I think this is the mildest Koeikiku so far. The acidity softens and becomes one with the sweetness.

At a nearby bar. As you can see on the packet, it tastes exactly like an orange. But it is not so much an orange. It tastes more like a tangerine with less acidity than an orange. It tastes like citrus. Yum! Sake from Saga is really good!

I haven't had Koei Chrysanthemum for a while. Go to Iwase in Gotemba🚙💨 I got the twilight orange I was looking for and a new product from last year I got Bikun ✌️ Bikun made with Miyamanishiki ☁️ I was looking forward to it since I hadn't had it yet 🎶. The first sip was sweet! I think it is the sweetest Koueikiku ever! Not so much acidity and lingering sweetness. The soft sweetness lasts for a long time. It is different from the usual Kouei Kiku. It's like a dessert sake 🤔.
