June 3, 2023 At Japanese Sake Satou in Matsuyama, Japan. I took a new employee to my favorite restaurant to drinking sake. The last and seventh drink of the day was Koei Kiku Tsukishita Muyori. It is a mellow, sweet and delicious sake, easy to drink easy to drink without feeling the alcohol content. It is easy to drink without feeling alcohol content. It was delicious with grilled sea eel and I enjoyed it with grilled sea eel and tanzaku yam.

I worked hard, so I opened a bottle of Snoclet followed by this one. Sweet, good, a little sourness, bitterness, and a bit of gusto there. Awesome ‼️ I like it better than Snoclet. I'm honored Chrysanthemum, I'll keep chasing it, even if it costs more for shipping: ‼️

When the bottle is opened, bam! As expected...it's a fresh and fruity aroma...and the mouthfeel is fresh, sweet, and bitter...with a hint of sourness. I'm sipping it with seared sea bream, sea bream, and seared Spanish mackerel as snacks...a little...sweet...but delicious...(^^)

Citrus, rummy, lactic fermentation-like aroma Slightly effervescent and tangy mouthfeel Strong acidity, but also sweetness and umami, with a hint of bitterness. As the temperature rises, the powerful umami comes out more. The crispness is quite strong and goes well with mild Camembert cheese.

The umami flavor comes with a bang and is delicious with food, and it is also a good sake to drink with dinner! It is easy to drink and very tasty!

Too bad you don't like it 🥲. Like I don't like the scent? What is the scent of? Alcohol? Lactic acid bacteria? I don't know what I don't like and I'm curious 🥲. #ImadeYa Chiba Ekinka

If I were asked to name my favorite of the Kouei Chrysanthemums, I'm sure it would be Kouei: ❤️ Mildly sweet, nutty flavor with pleasant acidity, and the flavor improves as the day goes by after opening. Of course, it is also good when laid down. So I drank a little first to open temporarily😊. It is still delicious 😋. I'll be chivi chivi chivi over the coming days 😘.

The acidity, which has the strong impression of a sunburst, is mellowed and controlled, and combined with the fruity taste, it is well-balanced and easy to drink. Kouei Kiku's limited edition is light. As a person who prefers dry taste, this is a good choice.

I've never had Anastasia Green before, but I'm excited to try Dusk Orange because it's so good 😆. The bottle opens with a gentle pop 💨I read on the back that the bottle might fly open, but it doesn't seem to be gassy🤔The nose has a gentle citrus aroma with an impression of yogurt 🍋The sweetness comes on the palate with a soft acidity 😋The slight bitterness comes in the lingering area and finishes nicely ✨A little lactic acid drink comes through on the nose. I can feel a little lactic acid drink in the nose, but the overall impression is tangerine 🍊I left the bottle open for a bit because I thought the sweetness would increase if I left it open 🍶I'll have to try the Anastasia Green 🤤.

Hi Nao888! Another delicious looking sake you've been laying down 🎵. I really enjoyed the dusk so I'm curious to try Koeikiku's orange one 😍. I would love to compare green, orange & dusk 😋!

Hi Nao888😃 Anastasia, I see you have green and orange ❣️ I don't often get a chance to drink honored chrysanthemum, but it has a good reputation 😆 I think I can gobble this one down in low al 😍I hope it increases sweetness and acidity👍.

Hi Nao888 😀 I also had this one on the ferry back to Yamaguchi and felt a strong citrus flavor 😀. According to the description of the drink, it's a good combination of Anastasia green and twilight orange, but it's more orange 😀.

Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛Anastasia Orange is probably like the first challenge quota that came out 🍶It's, you know, gobbleable 🥰The second day it got sweeter and the tangerine was clearer 🍊.

Hi Jay & Nobby 🌞 I see you're on standby for Anaore 🍶The day you opened the bottle, it was sweeter and more umami, so you two might want to gulp it down: ☺️

This is my first post in a month. I haven't had a chance to drink... 2F🦶 or having an outbreak 😅... Well, I'm back with a full bottle of Gekko 🌙. I liked it quite a bit last time, This time I have a normal impression🤔. The difference is that this time it's supposed to be fire-entering. Hmmm, tasty but not very impressive😅 100% Hachitan-Nishiki Alcohol content: 14 degrees Celsius

It has a sourness that is typical of Kouei Kiku, but it may be restrained; it is refreshing and normally delicious. It is also good as a food sake. Recommended.

Polishing ratio not disclosed Alcohol content 12% Hachitan-Nishiki 100%. The sweetness and acidity are well balanced and delicious. It is not a lemon or melon, but an orange.

Anastasia Green is now Anastasia Orange? The label image hasn't changed. Has the label text become more orange? I guess I didn't notice the aroma that much. It's a well-balanced collaboration of fresh sourness and sweetness. â The taste is strong and bitter, but it gradually wears off. It is a quintessential Koei chrysanthemum! Hats off to the stable taste. I am very proud of the stable taste.

This is my first time to try Kouei Kiku fire-brewed! Low alcohol content and very easy to drink 😆. The taste is crisp, but with a citrusy sweet and sour taste that is typical of Kouei Chrysanthemum, which does not disappoint! Delicious! I would like to have it again next year.

Koei Kiku is the most popular chrysanthemum of the moment. Natural lactobacillus brewed with Kame-no-o. It is very tasty with a pleasant sweetness and sourness.

Chosuppa is good! We got a call that our second daughter had a fever and came down with it, so we had to hold off on all the drinking on the last day of our trip. By the way, my second daughter is confirmed to have influenza A! We took her to the holiday clinic and had a drink after we got back. #1769
