Best wishes for the new year!
Let's enjoy the fun drinking 🍶 life 😊.
New Sake Nigori from Koueikiku!
This is a popular sake from Saga and will be opened for the first time this year!
It has a firm, deliciously sweet, nigori taste.
It is a little bit thick!
At a Christmas sake party at my usual bar.
Fruity as always, delicious!
Gorgeous, mellow, light and easy to drink.
The Christmas label is cute.
Served with grilled chicken.

It's a new year and I'm posting the last sake I received last year.
It was a Christmas sake, and I opened the bottle hoping to get it before the end of the year somehow.
It tastes like Omachi with a grape-like sweetness and a light nigori-shuwashi taste.
It is a very drinkable sake, but it has a strong Omachi-like flavor, so it is better to drink it with that in mind.
In the end, Yamada-Nishiki is the best sake rice.
I would like to enjoy various sake again in 2026.
For various reasons, I may end up drinking more Okayama sake.
Thank you for the sake.
And a Happy New Year to you all!

I was wondering if Kouei Kiku might be better suited to be hi-iru (fire-iruited) because of the sourness of the sake as a whole.
If that's the case, why don't I just drink Kangiku or some other type of raw sake? I thought so...
Kouei Kiku is difficult to make...
I missed Xmas, but I had to drink it before the end of the year 🍶 Well, in the West, it's like an extension of Christmas until the end of the year, so I thought it would be okay and opened a bottle of Merry Crescent 🍶.
When we open the bottle, there's a little bit of lees and it's stirred automatically 🫧The aroma is sweet strawberry 🍓The taste in the mouth is not as sweet as the aroma, but the gasiness and acidity are combined with the delicious lees flavor 😋A little bitterness comes in to finish the taste ✨This is a gorgeous and gorgeous wine that would go well with shortcake. It was a gorgeous sake that would go well with anything 🥰.
Good evening, Nao888!
Koueikiku's Christmas sake - looks delicious😍.
You must have been really busy at the end of the year💦.
I hope you're drinking good sake and having a good sake rush 🤗.
Good evening ma-ki-san 🌛The end of the year was the worst ever 🤣I was on the verge of a mental breakdown and was saved by the sake and sake-no-wa people 🥰I plan to be tongue-tied every day over the New Year holidays 😆.
The carbonation is so strong that the cork pops, and like Snow Crescent, it has a gorgeous ginjo aroma, fruity-sweet juicy flavor, and good acidity and sharpness.
Here's the last bottle to open this year✨!
The pizzazz and mellow flavor of OMACHI is fantastic 🙌!
The sweet and sourness is followed by a slight bitterness, and the aftertaste is dry and refreshing 😋!
Thank you all very much for the many things I learned this year! I hope to drink a lot (lol) and learn a lot next year as well: 🙇♀️
Have a happy new year 😄!
Thank you very much for this year 🤗Kitashizuku ◎, thank you very much for this year 🤗Here at Koei Chrysanthemum - I'm curious about you 😍Let's enjoy more and more sake activities next year 🎵Have a happy New Year 🤗.
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki- ✨
Hello Koei Kiku's Omachi was so delicious! 🙌
