Obon family home sake (1)
My brother had bought this Koei Kiku.
Less acidic than other specs,
It has sweetness and a slightly effervescent taste,
It is as easy to drink as ever.
It is also easy to drink due to its low alcohol content at 14°C. It is perfect for summer.
This sake is perfect for summer.
Nose: Fresh aroma reminiscent of white flowers and herbs, with a fresh fruitiness reminiscent of green apples and pears.
Mouthfeel: Fresh and fresh, with a slight effervescence that is typical of nama sake.
Mouthfeel: A full sweetness spreads at first, followed by a refreshing acidity. It is not heavy, but rather light and juicy.
I could feel the sizzling sensation as if it were carbonated!
I was told by the waitress that this is one of the driest Kouei Kiku!
While I was taking pictures, the waitress lent me a 🍺 and 🍶 that came out of the mess.
Enjoyed Saga cuisine! Everything was delicious 🤤!
I wonder when I'll go to Saga again lol

Aroma of Asteraceae flowers
Slight acidity and sweetness
I wonder if this is what the fragrance of the flowers of Halcyon is like.
Good sharpness
good taste
Not No.1, but I would like to have it with me for the rest of my life.
It is said to be one of the heaviest of the Koei chrysanthemums. And it is recommended to grow it, so I did.
The first day, it was more like Kouei chrysanthemum than I expected. It is a little heavy, but the sourness makes it easy to drink and tastes good.
After a week, the sweetness has become more pronounced and is in harmony with the sourness. The aftertaste is more voluminous and drinkable.
After two weeks, the aftertaste is a little astringent. This is good.
Personally, I think one week is better.
Thank you for the food 😄.
It's been a while since I've had Koei Kiku😊.
The sweetness of Koei Kiku was well matched with the royal sake feel from the umami of Oumachi.
This is my first choice sake this summer.
Adult spice mix to go with it.
I'm surprised it's not classical.
Even though it's 17 degrees Celsius.
If you look closely, you'll see it's 100% Omachi.
It's full of deep sweetness
It is full of deep sweetness.
It's been a long time since I've had a Koei-Kiku.
It's 17 degrees Celsius and it's more like Kouei Kiku than I expected.
Though my expectations were betrayed
But this is good! It's a good one...
Look at the new Japanese phrase I learned: まいしゅうさけを飲みます!
This is the richest tasting sake I've ever had, the store said it was a blend, not quite sure what that means, but there was a big difference in the flavor in the mouth and when I swallowed it! The first sip was refreshing at first, and then it was mellow and sweet. But when you eat the food and drink it again, there's almost no flavor.
It's an amazing experience and I would recommend anyone who hasn't tried it before to give it a try!
Incidentally this bottle is 430 RMB in China, which is about 8,500 yen!
