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...(^^)

A light nigori made from Omachi, Koeikiku's "first" Christmas limited edition 🎄. It has a nice effervescence when opened! On the first day, it was a bit dry with a noticeable bitterness... but as the temperature relaxed and the days went by (2 or 3 days), the cute sweet and sour taste and richness increased and it became sweet and umami 🍓 I enjoyed the change in flavor 🥰.

I wonder if there will be anastasia orange and twilight green, which I bought in September, just to honor my fridge stock of chrysanthemums. Well, anyway, they are delicious.

My first encounter with Koei Kiku was with the brand "Tsukikage". It has a fruity sweet and sour mouthfeel like a fresh pear, and a delicious taste like a rice powder, and is very crisp and clean! There is almost no bitterness, and it's the kind of thing you'd want to drink on a moonlit night. This may be the reason why I fell in love with unfiltered raw sake. I don't really care about that, but it's still delicious!

The moment I saw this on Kouei Chrysanthemum's Instagram, I knew I had to buy it, and I bought it immediately on the day it hit the store shelves. The moment I put it in my mouth, it had an apple juice-like aroma, a pleasantly bitter aftertaste, and my wife and I toasted it with a glass of wine. My wife said it was the best wine she had ever tasted. I love the label and the name! It was a good Christmas! The accompaniments were carpaccio of ao-dai and gote-Yaki!

9 points (Wife: 9 points) Rice : Omachi Rice Polishing Ratio : Undisclosed Alcohol content : 13 Pon when opening the bottle (the lid will fly off if you are not careful) Strong gassy feeling Slightly sweet strawberry yogurt-like top The same fruity aroma as the first sip, soft sweetness and rice flavor, with a little lactic acidity and a slight bitterness that is accompanied by a touch of gassiness. Silky, fresh, delicate, and in a good sense, not feeling like Omachi, it has a fresh impression with a touch of gas, and of course it is delicious with a meal or on its own. It goes perfectly with chicken and pasta for Christmas dishes.

Local Star Kouei Chrysanthemum It's like drinking a grown-up Ambassa. The fizz, acidity, and fruity sweetness are as expected of Koei Kiku! It is a beautiful white sake that reminds me of a white Christmas! McNuggets to go with it (no picture)!

Joyeux Noël🎄 The first Chrismas sake from Joyeux Chrysanthemum 🎅. Omachi 🌾 with a light nigori 🍶! Strawberry cider sweet creamy rice soda! It will add a shwirling color to your Christmas spirit! A very Christmas-like opening 🍾 with a very small "shponk"! It is a light nigori with a touch of tailings 📝. The appearance is a light gold or greenish color and a light nigori with energetic gas bubbles. The aroma is sweetness wrapped in freshness. Aroma of strawberries rather than strawberries, with some sourness in the sweetness. There is a veil of refreshing rummy sensation. There is also a hint of volatile aroma. The rice aroma is rather rich, like rice cakes. Slightly smooth texture with a slight tartness to a gentle gasiness on the palate 🫧. Soft, dark sweetness mixes with firm, fine-grained acidity and spreads with the mellowness of the tailings. The natural sweetness and sourness, combined with the hints of aroma, is intoxicating, as if one had eaten strawberries. From the mid-palate, after the gaseous sensation is gone, a soft umami flavor flows with the tailings, and it finishes with a slight bitterness. The lingering aftertaste is a good amount of rich bitterness and a slight astringency. It's been a while since I've had Koei Kiku, but I'm still sure of it! It's an intoxicating feeling😊. I hope you all have a drunken Christmas 🎅.
