It's been a long time since I've been here. I bought it for the rich chivalry, the orizumigara, and the characters alone.
From the moment I put it in my mouth, I could taste the rich flavor that is the essence of chivalry. The sweetness is restrained, but the creaminess from the lees combines with the umami and makes you feel satisfied.
Sake with a lot of umami has a stinging sensation, and I often find that sake with a lot of sweetness seems to dance gorgeously in my mouth, but this one has a gorgeous impression even though the umami is the predominant type. It is not eccentric, but I thought this was unusual.
The body of this sake is thick and very drinkable.
This is a purely delicious sake.

Slightly banana aroma
Slightly gassy with a gentle acidity.
While the umami slowly reveals itself
It is characterized by the lightness that is typical of Gohyakumangoku.
With PayPay points redeemed, I made a stop on my way home from work and bought a bottle of Gikyo at my usual liquor store.
They said it was a recent addition to their sake collection and they recommended it.
I opened the bottle and poured it into one sip...white.
I thought it was acidic and shwashy😊.
I thought...
When I drank it, I found it to be a little tingly and lightly banana-like.
Delicious. It's so refreshing, I think I'll drink too much.
It was natural that it looked a little white because it was made from tailings😅.
No gassiness (?)
Ginjo aroma
Gentle rice sweetness
There is a firm umami and astringent taste.
There is a little bit of alcohol.
It may be light in the Gikyo category.
Mr. Aogiri's third drink.
Steady Mr. Gikyo.
It is so delicious that there is nothing more to say.
The balance between the light flavor of "Gohyakumangoku" and its sharpness is the best.
I looked back at the picture and found that I drank the exact same 2-year-old Gikyo-san in August. I remember that I finished it in an instant.
I think there should be a bottle of Gikyo in the family.
