Slightly citrusy aroma
Smooth mouthfeel with a carbonation sensation, followed by a citrusy acidity and a refreshing bitterness.
An interesting drink that combines the best of Anastasia Green and Dusk Orange
Trial product "Anastasia Orange" that I was curious about on SNS.
Here it is!
The taste is completely different from Ikumochi!
It's still citrus 🍋 orange 🍊 type!
There are almost no bubbles in the glass, but it tastes like freshly squeezed lemon 🍋!
Enjoyed the depth of Koueikiku again this day!
Sake-no-wa, my number one brand has reversed from Shinsei to Koei-Kiku!
It's a fierce battle between these two brands!
I'm going to match it with hot zangi!

Comparison of Ikubou
Just released from the warehouse in October this year.
This one has a lot of bubbles in the glass!
It seems to be more energetic than the ice-aged one.
The ice-aged one is darker in the mouth.
This one is lighter and lighter.
I could feel the pear taste when I sipped it slowly!
Hooray for a fresh mouthful!
On this day, the top clearings were poured without stirring!
The middle of the appetizer. The assistant chef asked me how I liked it when I was leaving!
When I replied that it contained tuna, he said, "Yes, it's a combination of tuna and blood.
It seemed to have been made on a trial basis.
I like ❤️ this blood mixture!

I also wanted to let you know that I will be moving out next month.
Thank you again!
The manager, with a friendly face, brought us two bottles of sake.
He told us that two kinds of "Ikubou" had been released.
I didn't know that!
If you haven't had this one, let's try three kinds," he said!
Kouei Kiku, three different kinds of sake!
Ice-aged in the cellar, this is really a deep and delicious sake that makes your mouth dance!
It tastes like a Japanese pear!
Just like the Niitaka pears we had at home yesterday!

Next up is Koei Chrysanthemum 😊.
I wondered what it would look like from the name 😄
The aroma is more citrusy, but the taste is very sour 😂.
I couldn't help but think it was a big hit 😅.
There is a bit of sweetness though ☝️
Anyway, it's a sake with a sour taste 😁.
I think this is delicious 😄

My favorite Koei Kiku and their new product, Anastasia Orange.
This sake seems to be made with the idea of combining the flavors of Anastasia Green and Dusk Orange.
It is refreshing and crisp, but also sweet and sour, as if you are biting into the flesh of an orange.
I really think Mr. Toji Yamamoto is a genius at creating sake with the targeted flavor.
It is more refreshing than the Twilight Orange, and I personally prefer this one.
I would like to have it again next year.
Thank you very much for the sake.
Today, a friend took me to Mochizuki Shoten in Atsugi, where I was offered a bottle of Tasake special junmai sake for a purchase over 3,000 yen! (Purchased together with Matsumidori from Kanagawa Prefecture)
(Purchased with a bottle of Kanagawa Prefecture's Matsumidori.) It has a sour taste with an apple-like sweetness, and a sharpness after a sizzling sensation. This is really delicious.
Yesterday we had crab, and today we received a tax return gift from our hometown, so we drank it with crab as well. It goes well with crab.
I was told that if you drink it over a month or so, you can enjoy the change in taste, but I've already finished the four-pack.
Rich in sweetness and flavor, with a bit of complexity. If you don't like the flavor, the sweetness of this wine can mask a lot of the flavor at low temperatures.
It's my first Mitsui-Eikiku!
Excited because it is a popular modern sake brewery with a label design that invites purchase!
I purchased a special junmai sukai.
Soft acidity and clean sweetness
It goes down the throat quickly and comfortably.
I couldn't help but squeal with delight!
The harmony of acidity and sweetness is exquisite, so you will never get tired of drinking it, and it can be easily matched with all kinds of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes.
Since it is a bottle, I would like to enjoy it with a glass of Koei Kikuban for a while.
Finally got around to drinking it. It is very tasty 🤤.
Sweet, fruity and sour. It tastes like a modern sake honor student 🍶.
It's very easy to drink and I feel like I can recommend it to sake beginners 🔰.
This is one of a limited shipment of Anastasia Green and Dusk Orange in one bottle. I don't usually buy 4-pack bottles, but the fact that they don't make 1-square bottles.
The acidity, sweetness, and citrus fruity flavors were well balanced and superb.
I heard that the softness of the wine increases if you let it sit for a while after opening the bottle, but it was gone lol.
Good evening, Drunken Giraffe!
Dusk Orange is delicious 🤤.
I was surprised how the orangeiness I felt could be expressed by the raw materials of sake 😲.
It has a fresh, acidic, juicy flavor due to its natural lactic acid bacteria preparation, and a fresh, youthful, sweet, rummy aroma.
It has a clear yet umami flavor, and as it comes into contact with air after opening the bottle, it develops a distinctive Kimoto-type flavor. The lingering astringent and acidic flavors cut through pleasantly.
This is Tsukikage of Kouei Chrysanthemum, first time for me 🌛.
Sake with divine power 🍶🍶.
The top aroma is slightly sweet.
Slightly gassy on the palate 🫧.
Slight acidity and a refreshing sweetness.
I've had a few peculiar sakes from Jinriki, so I don't have a good image of it, but this one was delicious without any peculiarities 😊🍶.
