Harujion, a seasonal sake for early summer by Koei Kiku, which I have not had in a while.
I had it last year, and it is as delicious as ever this year!
Koueikiku's sake has gradually developed a different taste depending on the brand, and this sake is characterized by its fruity, lychee-like taste.
In the past, I felt that Koeikiku was characterized by its acidity or its sizzle, but it is good that it is not just that.
The acidity is there, but it is not that strong. Rather, the umami comes to the forefront and, due in part to the low alcohol content, you can guzzle it like a juice.
I like the freshness of it because it is summery.
Is Sunburst coming next? I am looking forward to it.
Thank you very much for your hospitality.
A refreshing aroma reminiscent of the milky taste of ori-derived rice and rumenes.
Light mouthfeel with a strong carbonation, followed by a slightly full-bodied rice flavor and refreshing acidity that finishes refreshingly with a touch of bitterness.
Preferred ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
I wanted to try this Koei Kiku!
The cool summery label makes me excited.
It has a good balance of sweet and sour, and I can't get enough of the good things about it, as if it were a cross between the sweet and tasty and dry types that I like. Delicious.
Komei Kiku "Kame-no-o" sake brewed in 2021. It has matured to an amber color in the low-temperature cellar of a sake brewery, enhancing its flavor. Kame-no-o's deliciousness has increased. It was delicious.
At Akashi kinomi (izakaya) where my sons took me on Father's Day.
It's been a long time since I've had Koei Kiku. It is still delicious.
Fruity aroma. Juicy, sweet and sour, with a slight bitterness like grapefruit at the end. It goes down your throat in a gulp.
