It's time to start drinking Koei Kiku 🤤.
This is the first time I've seen Noon Crescent 🌙 made with Hokkaido's sake rice, Ginpu.
It's a light cloudy color with a unique fruitiness that is typical of Koei Kiku, but it seems drier than the others.
It fits the image on the label and has a nice refreshing taste 😋.
I also enjoyed the new product 🌙.
Hi Hissan 😃
Hi 😃Oh, we also had the new Kochira Koei Chrysanthemum this week! We also had the new Kochira Koei Chrysanthemum this week ‼️ and you're right, it was a meh delicious blink-and-you'll-miss-it type 🤗.
Hi Master J&N 😀
Thank you so much for all your help...
Koei Kiku is a popular sake in Sakegawa, but I'm glad to know that it's easy to buy it here at our local store, as we don't often run out 😁.
My devotion to Kouei Chrysanthemum went as far as it could go, and this is what I ended up with (smile).
So here it is, a jar of Kouei Kiku sake!
It's a very expensive sake, 4,500 yen for a 4-pack... I'm surprised you bought it.
I'm going to have it with a straight collar!
The sweetness, acidity, and a good amount of bitterness are all balanced to a high degree... this is delicious...
I won't say any more boring things, it's really good!
It's been a while since I've had a sunburst of Koei Chrysanthemum! I used to be very impressed with its acidity 😄 This time I had fried dinner, so here it is!
The aroma is a little blue like grapefruit. When I drank it, I could not feel much sweetness, but there was a delicious flavor. Then came the sourness, but it was not as pronounced as I had felt before. Then the bitterness comes in and finishes it off. It's a good balance 😅Bursting...tasty, but a bit disappointing.
I haven't had a Haruzion since I was in Shizuoka.
One of the most impressive bottles of Kouei Chrysanthemum with a refreshing and easy-drinking palate!
The refreshing white grape-like taste with a bit of bitterness added is also grapefruit-like.
I like the summery taste of the mouthfeel, where the flavor spreads in the mouth and disappears quickly.
The freshly opened ginjo aroma is very complex, with a strong acidity and sweetness on the attack, but with a low lingering aftertaste. The starting taste is firm. After a few minutes, the acidity settles down, and the sake takes on a fresh yeast yeastiness, sweetness, and aroma. I personally like sweetness, umami, and the sense of "sake" (like Gonin Musume and Kidoizumi), so I like it the day after the bottle is opened or at room temperature.
According to the information from the liquor store where I purchased it, this will be a regular or standard Koei-Kiku.
I think the flavor is aimed at a food sake, though, with the original ama acidity strength.
⛈️ It has a gassy, summery and refreshing taste. After opening the bottle, it has a rummy, cream soda-like aroma, and as you drink it, it also has a pear-like aroma👍You will drink too much 😚This is delicious 😋.
