The bottle was carefully opened because it had a label warning against opening the bottle (but not even a squeak was made...).
We started with the top clearings. The first impression was fresh sweetness like melon and apple, followed by acidity and bitterness.
Then, mix in the lees. The impression is that the sweetness and umami of the rice has been added and the flavor has become richer.
I opened a bottle of Sono Kankiku's Monochrome, which I hadn't been able to drink with my dinner!
Although it is called "Monochrome", it is gorgeous and fresh with a sense of fruitiness. I am intrigued by the umami and lingering aftertaste rather than the sweetness.
There is also a calm minerality that gives a very cohesive impression.
It doesn't interfere with the meal, and it's a slushy type of wine. It's not bad!
And a natural label purchase...
I opened a bottle of Kangiku that I had left over and decided to save until the end of the year.
And it ran out so fast 😅I love this sake because it is slightly carbonated, sweet and tasty, and has a slight bitterness, making it easy to drink. The red one is to be enjoyed at the end of the year.
The long-awaited Hakuginoumi by Kangiku Meikozo
Every year I drink it all up in an instant and can't compare it with Ginkai, so this year I got two bottles!
This year it was a little less sweet, but I still liked the taste and it was delicious!
At my favorite pub: ‼️
Finally came across Denshogiku 😆 I've been drooling and crossing my fingers and watching everyone post about it every year 🤤.
It's so sweet 😲 everyone will say it's delicious ❗I can recommend it to those who don't like sake so much 🎵
Well, it's that time of year again!
Denshogiku!
We have red orikarami and green...no, yellow clear sake.
The appearance is a misty white color that also retains a sense of transparency.
The gas bubbles are shwash-wash.
The aroma is gorgeously sweet and fresh, spreading around the room as it pours.
Sweet and refreshing aromas of freshly cut red apple flesh, the core of an apple with honey, and the freshness of pear and blue melon melon melon.
Acacia flowers overflow from the glass.
The rice aroma is rice cake covered with rice cake powder.
There is also a hint of alcoholic freshness.
The tailing is extremely smooth, with a strong and pleasant gas stimulation.
The rounded sweetness is more gentle than the impression of the aroma, and together with the gaseous sensation, it has a dry freshness.
The overt aroma is also gorgeous.
From the mid-palate, a beautiful bitterness spreads out with a delicious flavor, and then it is gone, leaving a sharp finish.
The long aftertaste is the bitterness that remains after the gas stimulation subsides.
When it is warmed up a little, the fluffy juicy sweetness and gentle acidity balance each other out.
Good, very tasty. ☺️
I recommend to drink it a few days after opening the bottle to let the gassiness subside and the taste become more cohesive, and not to chill it too much to enjoy the rich sweetness and flavor,
It's still nice when your favorite sake tastes good. ☺️
Both the aroma and taste are like ripe fruit.
It feels like you are eating ripe fruit, but it is by no means sweet.
It is delicious on its own, and may be enjoyed with caprese or marinades.
I can spare a bottle in a day, but I would like to leave it for a while to enjoy the changes in flavor.
The 69th bottle of home brew in 2024 🍶.
Kangiku's Orange Sea Arrival, the last bottle of the Flight series trilogy following Departure and Inflight: ✈️
The name "Arrival" was inspired by the image of an airplane passing over the orange-colored Kujukuri area before landing 🌆.
As the label says, it was delicious with a calm taste 🤤.
My favorite degree ★★★★★⭐︎⭐︎
The usual Sohno-Kangiku at the usual restaurant.
Fresh juicy calpis.
Kangiku's only nigori sake.
Reasonable and cosy
I had to save it at 13 degrees to finish it.
The long-awaited Denshikiku
Purchase at Yamatoya Sakepo
I didn't know there were two kinds.
I changed the store and procured it.
The Occasional series is delicious
Rich in flavor and delicious

Kangiku" after a long absence.
The second drink at "Sake and Oysters...Sometimes Oden BACHIYA Fuchu Branch".
The taste is as stable as ever.
It is a raw unfiltered sake, so it has a juicy taste.
I want to drink it again.
My wife is shopping with a friend today.
I have no family or personal matters to attend to today.
So, after finishing miscellaneous errands and shopping at home, I will have lunchtime drinking alone at home today.
The accompaniment for such a continuous lunchtime drinking immorality is Denshogiku from Kangiku Meikozo.
I had been looking forward to drinking this sake since I learned about it from Sakegawa.
So, let's have it right away.
The first day
The first day was Friday with my wife.
First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, the sweet and bitter taste hits you.
It is already delicious at first impression.
After that, only the bitterness remains, and you feel a lingering, wriggly taste and a chili chili stimulation on your tongue.
It has not only sweetness but also bitterness, and it finishes cleanly, giving the impression that it is a very delicious sake that can be easily matched with food.
My wife was also pleased with the taste.
The third day
The sweetness has increased and it is very fruity, juicy and delicious on the third day.
The bitterness spreads from the middle to the latter half of the bottle and lingers on for a long time.
It is well-balanced and this time, too, Kangiku was as delicious as its reputation.
A good sake is a great source of energy 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-san 😀
I see you opened the cellar's electric chrysanthemum.
I've been waiting for your review ✨✨.
As per your review, the sweetness and chili had an impact on me and I want to drink it again too 🍶.
Thank you for your comment, soumacho.
Yes, I'm a little late to the party, but I got it! I'm a little late to the party, but I got the Denshikiku-san, which my juniors also groaned about: ⤴️
It really has a memorable impact on me and makes me want to drink it again 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki-!
Denshogiku is really delicious 😋I am happy to share this deliciousness with you ☺️ I share your sympathy for the vitality of sake for tomorrow. Lately I find myself able to put up with unpleasant things and work hard just to drink sake 💧.
Good evening ma-ki-san 😊Denshogiku💓I also love Kangiku so I'd like to drink it ‼️ and I'm happy to drink it during the day 🙌I'm more happy ‼️It's a privilege for adults 😉I agree with ma-ki-san and hina-hana mama greatly 👍
Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama.
I was in intense agreement with your review that it is a sake that can be enjoyed either on its own or as a food sake 😁✨✨.
I hope you will continue to use sake as an energizer for your fight 😊.
Thank you for your comment, Pekho.
Kangiku is delicious, so I can understand why you like it. ⤴️
I felt a little immoral for a day of drinking in the afternoon, but it was a good energy booster 😁✨✨.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan ^_^
It's great to be with Kangiku-san at noon ✨.
I missed buying this sake 😢.
I guess I don't have many chances to meet sake because of my low pace of buying in bulk these days.
Thanks for your comment Manta.
I don't know why it tastes so good ❣️ and it was a blissful afternoon ✨.
I tend to buy in bulk too, so I have a problem with a lot of alcohol that I can't buy in a timely manner due to the state of inventory 💧.
Chrysanthemum in winter
Rare rice Ken Aizan.
The combination of Aiyama and Kangiku is very elegant and beautiful.
The bitterness that can be felt on the tongue is calmed by a very gentle sweetness.
It is a favorite of my heart's friend.
Did I drink it last year? I bought a bottle of Hakuginkai, but never drank it.
Maybe because I opened it right after I bought it, it was less gassy.
The taste is still gentle, but maybe a little drier than other Kangiku.
