This is a sake made from rice rice, not sake rice! I thought I never heard of it, but it's not sake rice, it's rice rice.
The aroma after opening the bottle is a bit like Senkou? The aroma after opening the bottle is a little like Sentori! You can feel the acidity from the aroma.
When you pour it into a glass, it has a light bubbly taste.
The color is a light golden hue, and the rice polishing ratio of 80% is convincing.
The taste in the mouth reminds me of banana, but it is not fruity, it is more like a fusion of the deliciousness of rice and fruity aroma, and you can enjoy the pleasant dry aftertaste 🥰.
The interesting thing is that as the temperature range approaches room temperature, the umami increases!
The sweetness increases 😘.
I thought it was a bit more intoxicating than the other Koei Kiku, but that's because it's a bit higher in alcohol content 🤪.
Kaze no Mori and Senkyoku are also brewing delicious and easy-to-drink sake with low rice polishing these days, which I think is really great 🥰.
From the naming Muyori
Is it just because I'm a horse racing idiot that I associate Muyori to Brian to Naritabryan? 🤣
Yum!
I missed the G1 Asahi Cup FS on Sunday, but in the last race 🎯.
Hello, kozo 😃.
2 year old horses are hard to guess 😅 but still it's great to win well in the last race 👏Next is finally the Arima 🏇.
Mutuality→Bright→WinBright😜.
Fresh aroma and gasiness, juicy, silky and gentle flavor, crisp and refreshing acidity✨.
The fluffy orioles are like powdery snow ❄.
The alcohol content is low at 13 degrees, but it tastes so good, it's dangerous to drink it so easily 😆.
We opened a bottle of Kouei Kiku's Ikubou.
Named for the moon in its nearly full state, this sake is brewed with natural yeast using "Kitashizuku" rice produced in Hokkaido, and is released in the fall after the vat is topped up in April, bottled, and stored in ice temperatures.
The term "natural lactobacillus brewing" is an original name given by Mr. Yamamoto, the toji of Koeikiku, who felt uncomfortable treating the two sake breweries with the same goal, i.e., to make sake with natural yeast and Yamahai as two different genres.
Ikubou is a stored sake in the fall sake category, but it still retains enough freshness, perhaps because it is an unfiltered, unpasteurized sake that has been stored at ice temperature. The aroma is sweet and fruity. It has a rounded mouthfeel that is typical of stored sake, and the taste has a strong sweetness like ripe peaches with plenty of umami. It has a round and gentle acidity, and the overall taste is sweet and sour.
There is a hint of astringency like the aroma of oak barrels, which is one of the characteristics of Koueikiku, so the sweetness is well-defined and does not give the impression of being dry at all.
I drank a variety of autumn sake this year, and it was very interesting to see that the definition of autumn sake is broad, with each brewery releasing their own interpretation of autumn sake that makes the most of their individuality.
Although the season has already moved on and it is the season for new sake, I am looking forward to enjoying next year's autumn sake again.
Thank you for your comments, Jay & Nobby!
I am very glad to hear that you enjoyed the drink. That's exactly what I'm trying to do. I have about half a bottle left, so I'm going to practice too 🧘.
175th one.
🌐🟡Keikai Kiku🟡🌐 after a long time.
I heard it is read as sukai in Seikai.
Even if you drink it many times, it still has a unique taste.
It's addictive.
