I was able to get this sake again this year.
It seemed to be more tender and flavorful than last year. The flavor is gorgeous and the best part is that it spreads out as soon as you put it in your mouth. I thought to myself, "I knew this was the one," and put it back in the refrigerator. I know from past experience that it tastes the best after a few days of storage.
It is crisp yet sweet, with a slight sourness and bitterness in the aftertaste, and has so many different flavors that the word "umami" doesn't do it justice! Delicious!
New from Kouei Chrysanthemum✨
You can't help but drink it 😋.
A good combination of Anastasia green and twilight orange 🎶.
Great balance of sweet and sour and just the right amount of citrus 👍 as you said.
The other day, I went to buy a bottle of Snoqualmie.
I was informed that a limited edition Christmas sake called "Merry Crescent" was going to be released!
Of course, I immediately pre-ordered it: ✌️
Alcohol content 14
Ingredients rice, rice malt
Sake rice used: Yamadanishiki
Recently, I have noticed that I can't seem to be a big fan of nigori sake. However, I have come to realize that I like light nigori sake. This time, I would like to introduce a representative of such light nigori, Koei-Kiku Snow Crescent! How does it taste? Let's go!
What a gorgeous fruity aroma like a pear! Pitchy and gassy! A little hard brewing water, like the Wind Forest! Juicy, rich sweetness like a banana! Refreshing sourness like sudachi! It quietly disappears along with the astringent taste. Maybe I like the amount of nigori, which is about the same as light nigori. I haven't tried the three major nigori sakes, so I don't know yet. Will I be able to get it this season? Thanks again for the sake tonight!
Meh, it's refreshing and easy to drink.
It has a slight trace of the early days, but this is still the same.
It's like a cider and you can drink it in large gulps!
I need to open up some fridge space for the sake I ordered for New Year's.
Consumed from a bottle that has been in there since June! Halcyon.
One of my top favorite Koei Kiku, I missed out on buying it last year and didn't get to drink it.
Oh no, it's delicious. 😁
It has been a long time since I drank Koei Kiku. This is my first time to drink Gekko. It is fresh, sweet and delicious. I heard that the taste changes, but I opened it right away.
The aroma is strawberry-like but weak.
Slightly sweet with a strong bitter aftertaste.
Slightly carbonated and easy to drink.
It is light and can be served with a meal.
I came home from night shift, took a bath, and had a drink with my mom just after midnight 😌.
Here's a bottle of Kouei Chrysanthemum. The light nigori at the bottom of the bottle was appealing to bring it home.
The bottle opened with a long pshoooooosh, not much aroma, grapefruit like flavors in the mouth like a wooden vat, umami like cooked rice, I like this kind of Koei Kiku, ❤️ acidity is also good. The sweetness and riceiness increased after I muddled the cage and left it in the glass at room temperature for a bit. ❗️
I think you have to drink Koei Kiku over a period of days👍
His wife bought this series for him.
It is an unfiltered, unfiltered, undiluted sake.
When we opened the bottle, the cork flew out like champagne.
It is a slightly cloudy, slightly sparkling sake.
It has a clear, full-bodied taste with a crisp aftertaste.
Rice called Jinriki.
I've never heard of it before 😉.
The balance of acidity and sweetness 😋 is typical of Kouei Chrysanthemum.
The balance is
I knew it 😆😆😆😆.

I drank this sake recommended by the store owner for my second drink outside.
It was my first time to drink it and it tasted fresh and fruity with lactic acid taste 😋.
(I was too tipsy from drinking outside and the second drink, so I couldn't taste the details 😅)
