Superior clarity...Slightly acidic and sweet tastes dance in the mouth.
Mixed...Perhaps because the alcohol content is slightly low at 13°...the sweetness is more pronounced with an increased sense of clarity.
Merry Christmas 🎄 a little bit early!
We will open today because it is a weekday this year 🎉.
Speaking of Christmas, I remember my parents used to say "Merry suffering", which is a self-deprecating gag nowadays.
Now that I'm a parent, I think I understand this in a financial sense😅.
Well, that's enough for now, let's get down to business!

Unlike the usual acidity, the sweetness is much gentler.
I have an impression that the word ''dusty'' is perfect for the taste.
May happiness reach people all over the world😄.
It was delicious 😋😋😋😋.
Thanks for the food🎶🎶.
In the mouth with a gaseous sensation that seems to be about to blow out, it's popping with intensity.
It has a clean acidity and a sweet and sour taste like a fresh apple.
This is delicious in its own right, but the sweetness becomes more pronounced and banana-like as the gas is released.
We received a Merry Crescent from Koei Chrysanthemum.
This is my favorite Koei Kiku Christmas label.
It's a new product released for the first time this year.
The label depicts Santa Claus riding in a sleigh with a bottle of sake.
My stockpile has grown so large that I am chronically late in drinking seasonal sake, but I try to be on time for these events.
This Merry Crescent was opened 17 days after purchase, which is unusually early for me.
I was scared to open the bottle because of the warning tag, so the bottle did not pop, but I could feel the gas pressure in the bottle.
When poured into a glass, a pleasant bubbly foam appeared.
The taste has juicy apple nuances.
It has a good degree of ooziness and a rich flavor.
Although not as sparkling as a sparkling wine, it has a slightly carbonated gasiness, making it easy to pair with Western-style meals such as carpaccio and roast beef.
This is a perfect bottle for a Christmas party.
Good morning, Hori 😃.
Timely Hori Chrysanthemum's new 🎄‼️
I haven't bought it because I thought it might be too sweet 😅. I haven't bought it 😅I guess it's not that sweet? Looks delicious 😋.
The aroma is somewhat mild, but reminiscent of apples.
The gaseous mouthfeel is followed by a soft nigori derived rice flavor and sweetness. The acidity at the end, typical of Kouei-Kiku, is moderate, with a lingering bitterness, and the low alcohol content and gasiness make for a light and refreshing finish.
I still prefer Haro's Oumachi the best in Koei Kiku.
However, I found the 2024 to be not that much to my liking.
I was a little concerned about the bitterness, which is always the best balance.
I am looking forward to the 2025.
Sunburst for the second month in a row.
I drank a lot this year. Thank you, Kouei Kiku.
I'm sure I'll be drinking during the New Year's holidays, too, lol.
I'm going to buy 5 bottles for the 30th to the 3rd, but what should I drink?
Daimine, Yukino Kayasha, Koei-Kiku, Kunchou...after all, it's the same as usual...
🍶🤓.
I haven't had snocre since last spring✨
As soon as I weakened my hold on the cork a bit, it popped 😅.
Took a sip before the oli went up.
Light alcohol, apple-like aroma, and a shwashy, clean taste 👌.
Mix it up, beautiful haze and a little fluffy rice 😊.
Perfect balance with the acidity lurking in the back 🤤.
Quart bottle, gone in 2 hours😳
Delicious sake to drink with excitement🤗🤗
The concept of Saga's sake brewery is easy to understand: the first sip is clear and tasty.
The first sip is clear and tasty, but it has a distinct sake smell, which can be detected when drinking it in the hiya. The instructions say to drink it cold, at no more than 5 degrees Celsius. That's right!
This sake brewery is one to keep an eye on for the time being!
Sake of Saga Prefecture
Koei Kiku SNOW CRESCENT
As the name suggests, it is a nigori sake that looks like snow. The bubbles bursting with a lactic acidic complex flavor can be felt. What is even more intense is the refreshing acidity. This acidity is similar to that of Senkou, which is made from a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast. I prefer a little more sweetness.
Degree of liking 9/10
I've never had Anastasia Green, but the concentrated citrusy bitterness and acidity certainly remind me of twilight orange.
However, it is sweeter and more mellow than Anastasia Green.
The low alcohol content also makes it taste like a juice!
Delicious!

Compared to Merry Crescent
Both are already cloudy
This is the fourth time we've encountered Snoqualmie this season 👀.
The remaining bottles are getting low, but the manager is stirring slowly, but when he opens the cork, it's firm and popping!
It's got a lot of oomph.
The taste is a little sweeter than Merry Crescent
But it's similar.
The oli is bigger and more numerous than the Merry Crescent.
I️ refilled this one too and went on to the next one.
Let's enjoy the last Fukurokuju-san at the end of the year!

I saw this on social media.
I asked the manager if this was available.
I was informed that it was, so I made a reservation and paid a visit.
It feels like Christmas🎄.
When I was walking in the underground shopping mall of Sapporo, I saw a big beautiful Christmas tree 🎄.
They made us a comparison of light nigori (light cloudy sake).
The taste was crisp and refreshing.
The taste is crisp.
The sweetness is a little stronger in the Snoqualmie 💪.
At any rate, we had a Christmas limited edition sake!
Christmas Eve is Sakura's Christmas Eve 🆗.
Fukurokuju's manager's favorite Omachi!
Omatisto's can't miss this sake!
I had two more glasses!
