Thank you for participating in the brewery opening 🙏1️⃣ 6️⃣
We were so excited to see if anyone would notice us, and Kochira's Gekko Rendezvous was noticed as well😇.
The label looks completely different from the usual Koei Chrysanthemum 🤣.
The second rendezvous in the series is an anomalous kijoshu, in which the natural lactic acid bacteria brewed by Gekko was used as part of the brewing water when the fast brewing version of Gekko was brewed 😀!
I'm glad you all made the choice😇.
It's so hot that I still want to drink
Koei Kiku.
This is my first time to try Sunburst, so I have only high expectations.
When I drank it, it was still a citrus soda with a characteristic acidity and a young astringent taste.

In the mouth as the name of the burst,
The acidity and sweetness spread in the mouth. It is delicious.
Perfect for the hot summer,
The taste also changed after the next day,
I had the impression that the taste changed after the next day.
Good evening, Shonan no Han-san!
I have the impression that Kouei Kiku's Sunburst is perfect for such a hot and humid day 😋.
It was my first Koei Kiku and it is a refreshing and delicious sake 🤗.
I received a bottle of Noon Crescent from Kouei Kiku.
It was one of the two additional bottles I bought in a hurry because it was so good when I drank it two months ago.
The first bottle had quite a bit of gas pressure, but this second bottle was even more intense.
The pressure was so strong that even if I had held the stopper with my thumb, it would have pushed it up, and if I had not held it down, it would have inevitably hit the ceiling.
It had a citrusy, fruity flavor typical of Kouei Kiku with a lactic acidity and a light nigoromi (slight nigoromi), and a sparkling-like shwashiness. It was so good that I drank too much and had a hangover the next day.
Three bottles might not have been enough.
Alcohol content: 14
Rice used: Undisclosed
Rice Polishing Ratio: 60% (Koji rice), 70% (Kake rice)
The aroma is citrusy, with hints of grapefruit.
The sweetness and acidity are pleasant, and the finish is slightly bitter, so you can drink it without getting bored.
It is a refreshing sake that does not linger on the palate too long, but cuts cleanly through, making it suitable for summer drinking.
I was vaguely thinking that it would be nice to drink it outside, or some other brand, since Gekko is not that good in my opinion.
But with room to spare, it was the best tasting of the day. This is a good one.
like an honored chrysanthemum that doesn't seem like one
Sweet aroma, sharp attack. Taste: dry with a hint of umami. Light and full-bodied.
The staff said, "It's not like Kouei Kiku, but.... I can see why.
I bought Gekka Muyori again this year.
I compared it with last year's Gekka Muyori, which I opened and aged.
It is good when opened, but I prefer the aged one by far.
Yasbaye family's warehouse party⑰.
Even though we've already finished 12 selections, there are still more coming out.
The Rendezvous series of blended brews that I had to pass up because they were a bit expensive at Kouei Kiku.
Koueikiku Tsukikou Rendezvous
The first brew was a solid sweet-tart flavor, which gave way to a refreshing umami.
The warming up of the sake was surprisingly rich and delicious. In drunken terminology, it was "batshit delicious.
I checked the internet and found that it is a raw sake brewed by fast brewing and using natural lactobacillus "Gekko" as part of the brewing water, which seems to be an approach similar to that of kijoshu.
Even Maru-san, who is not fond of kijoshu, thought it was good.
Alc 17 degree is high in this work.
Jacket value ... 7/10
The typeface is the key to this album.
Ki ... 17/20
The hue is a little yellowish and there are microbubbles. the smell is cedar with a thick Alc. the flavor is a combo of acidity and bitterness 4 + astringency 3 + sweetness 3.
Sei... 16/20
The impact on the tongue is the same as the first one, with Alc bitterness on the outer edge of the tongue and clear or rounded sweet/tart taste on the inner edge.
Turning... 16/20
Is this bitterness from Omachi? The cedar-like sublimation smell starts from here, but the Alc is thicker, but it is well covered by the sweetness.
Yui... 17/20
The lingering numbness and cedar smell is Koei-Kiku, and the last touch on the tongue is Oumachi.
Cospa ... 6/10
I bought it for 2,238 yen, let's not raise the price any higher.
The expected Oumachi feeling is somewhat mitigated by the umami and bitterness.
