Alcohol content: 16%.
At the beginning of drinking, it has a good balance of acidity and umami, just like a Koei Kiku. As time goes by, the taste changes toward the end to a rich mellow taste like a yellow peach fruit tart.
The first impression of drinking this sake is that it has a fruity and refreshing taste unique to Koei Kiku, as well as a sweet and sour taste like white peaches.
This sake is said to be the first trial of a blended sake that Koei Kiku tried to create a new flavor.
Indeed, as time passed after opening the bottle, I could taste the complexity of the aged flavor.
It is also delicious.
My favorite level (self-assessment)
★★★★★★★★☆☆☆
It is a twilight orange 🍊 from Koei Chrysanthemum.
We got the bottom of the bottle 🍶.
The aroma is sweet on the nose.
The palate has a mild juicy sweetness with a slight bitterness.
It was delicious, though it was sweeter than last year's. 🍊✨️
Hi, Matsuchiyo 😃
We are home drinkers and we had Taso 🍊 the other day! It was in a different sake cup, but it was sweeter than before as well!
But it was delicious as well 😋.
Good evening, J&N🍊.
I guess it's one of the best things about sake that the taste changes every year 😊.
I'm looking forward to the next Nunkure, which is supposed to be more refreshing.
Yesterday was rainy, but the sake label is blue sky and iridocumulus clouds (looks like).
Is it the new one from Koei Kiku that I like?
It says be careful when opening the bottle, so I'm already sure it's a shuwashu. As the warning said, I opened the bottle with the lid pushing up my finger.
Pouring it into the glass, it was still shwashy.
It's great in the mouth! Not too sweet, but refreshing just like the label says. It is also low-alcohol, but I slurped it down!
Hello Tequila 😃!
Oh! It's the new one from Koei Chrysanthemum: ‼️
It's a low al 😍, not too sweet with a schwashy taste.
This one is perfect for summer ☀️ 🤗
Next up is Koei Chrysanthemum Twilight Orange💖 which I missed buying last year.
I've been waiting for a year!
A complete change from the rich banquet I just had. This time it's a crisp one.
Fresh citrus aroma after opening the bottle 🎉.
It is light and gorgeous to drink!
This time, the accompaniment was dried squid, but I would drink it by itself... very bad 🤣.
I wonder if it's a placebo effect or not, but I definitely feel the orange taste, but the bitterness of the grapefruit is reduced, and the persistent sweetness of the fruitiness makes it seem more orangey?
I kept saying "oh" and "sure" every time I drank it and ended up drinking it until it was empty 😆.
I love this kind of fun drinking 😙.
I want to listen to "Placebo Sesibon" now...
Good evening, sibylla_tks 😃.
Tasoole 🍊 is delicious 🤗 simple we feel placebo every time 😆.
I wonder if the bitterness is reduced? was the same feeling!
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊
Twilight orange is delicious, isn't it? 😆
It's a sweet and sour low-alcoholic type that I've been liking lately, but each one has its own unique characteristics that I enjoy! I thought I drank it with great care, but it just magically disappeared...
Stopped by after the kids' soccer game.
We tasted sake from two different breweries at a storefront sake brewery opening, but after reading your post on Sake-no-Wa, I really wanted to take some home with me.
It's fresh and juicy!
I like the subtle orange flavor.
Slightly effervescent, with a nice sharpness and bitterness at the end. 👍️
It's delicious: ✨️
Good evening, xavi11xavi11!
Thanks for watching your children's soccer game ⚽
Dusk Orange is delicious 😋.
I had one the other day and it was a very satisfying one 😁✨✨.
