This is mainly my impression after one week of opening the bottle.
About the aroma
Immediately after opening the bottle, the aroma was pear-like, but after one week, it had a rich, matured aroma of melon and cheese.
The ripeness of the aroma became dominant, and the peariness was not so much felt.
About the taste
The taste is mainly a rich, ripe, slightly sour taste like melon and cheese.
I think the acidity and ripeness are slightly more dominant than the sweetness.
However, the sweetness is not overpowered by the richness of the flavor.
The sweetness has increased from just after opening the bottle, and the lingering sweetness and aftertaste seem to have lengthened.
The aftertaste continues to be cheesy, and the bitterness remains at the end.
The overall taste is richer, and the carbonation is still there even a week after the bottle was opened.
It is much richer than the Orange Sea, which I drank at the same time.
I am not so sure about the taste and aroma, so if you are interested in this sake, please take a look at other people's postings.
Dark yet refreshingly fruity
Koji on the tongue and in the aftertaste
As usual, it does not feel like sake and makes you want to gobble it up.
You want to sip and savor it sip by sip.
It's been promoted to the Hall of Fame in Mr. Uruncho's opinion!
⊂I'm going to go to the Hall of Fame!
I got it on a previous side trip to the Holy Land!
It's been a year since I've had a Kangiku and a few months since I've had a Sake Mirai type, so by all means. I will enjoy it to my heart's content 🔥.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was fruity and refreshing, with hints of apples, pears, grapes, and tropical fruits.
The palate is so clear that the words "pure and innocent" come to mind.
The floral and aromatic aroma is accompanied by a thick, almost sugary sweetness.
However, it is not too sweet, and the lightness of the gasiness and acidity, and the sharp cut-off of the dry astringency is even beautiful!
It is a true gem, no less than the Kenaiyama we had last year ✨.
This is one that I picked up after having a hard time deciding between other brands.
I was looking for this beauty...!
☀️
Sweetness with a sense of fruit 🍊.
And then a chain of umami 😚 flavors that builds up from there.
Bitterness at the end and Kangiku's royal road 👑.
I felt the bitterness was moderate.
It has a rich flavor and is worth drinking on its own 🤗.
Good evening, Hiro!
Thank you for the chrysanthemum 🙌
I haven't had this year's Orange Sea yet, but I'm sure it's delicious 👍.
I can't wait to try it 😅I have a jam packed fridge 🤣.
Good evening, hinahana mama 😃.
You look like a cold chrysanthemum maker 🤣.
It's definitely delicious this year too ❤️
Please let me answer your question soon with HinaHanaMama's review: ❗️😆
It's that time of year already...
I would like to enjoy the mild fruit aroma and delicious sweetness while feeling the autumn breeze a little more.
Today's temperature is 31 degrees Celsius.
It's been so hot lately that I've been drinking less sake and more beer, but I was able to buy this one, which I love, so I opened a bottle!
Kangiku Meikozo Kenaiyama
Even though it's an Aizan, it's cheap at 4,000 yen for a bottle, so we bought a bottle without hesitation!
It is a rare Kangiku sake that is once-fired, so it doesn't have the freshness of a fresh sake, but it has a good balance of sweet and tasty!
I got my favorite orange sea by Kangiku 😋.
Sorry for not being able to pick it up since my fridge is full 😭.
Since we're here, let's take a sip!
It has a fruity aroma with a hint of fruitiness, and the deep flavor that comes from a summer's sleep is irresistible 🥰.
The taste is slightly sweet, with a mellow rice flavor like ripe fruit & juicy deliciousness✨.
The mild acidity and piquancy are also in perfect balance 🥳.
I knew Kangiku-san was good!
As a former resident of Chiba, I'm happy to hear that: ☺️
It was my first time to drink it, and it was as good as the previous reputation.
The taste is just as good as it was advertised.
The modern sweetness is just right.
