Koeikiku Tsukikage Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
September 13, 2025
Kagoya Shimotakaido
3740 yen
This unfiltered unpasteurized sake is brewed with natural lactic acid bacteria using Jinriki rice. It seems to be bottled and stored in ice temperature for 3 months to bring out the full flavor.
The ginjo aroma is like melon or lychee, a nice aroma that you want to keep smelling. The palate has a hint of carbonation, melon, and sports drink-like sweetness. The sweetness is followed by a gradual spread of sweet and sourness. A light bitterness finishes with a refreshing aftertaste. It is light for an unfiltered unpasteurized sake, so it is easy to drink.

Kouei Chrysanthemum I get a lot of things, but in general I like it.

K
A mellow, umami-kuchi sake quality that is new to Kouei Kiku.
The sweetness is quite strong and robust.
Yet, it is not too heavy, and the freshness typical of nama-zake brings this strong sweetness together nicely.
The lactic acidity and the bitterness that tightens the aftertaste are also good accents.

The 8th Osaka Takashimaya Sake Festival (15-1)
Sake Rabbit booth.
We went to Sake Usagi to talk to the toji (master brewer) and the sake shop owner of the talk event we attended before noon, who were standing at the counter.
I had only been to tasting booths before, so this was my first time at a paying counter.
I ordered a comparison of drinks, Koei Kiku and Matsu no Tsukasa.

The concentrated umami spreads on the tongue and is broken up by the acidity.
I was a little nervous and asked a stupid question... I regretted that I had a witty question I wanted to ask more.

常に初陣
Koeikiku after a long time.
It is a special junmai, which is written "Seikai" and reads "SUKAI".
Melon-like aroma.
The bottle had a note to be careful when opening, but it was ultra-fine and bubbly.
Mellow, acidic, and refreshing.
It is very easy to drink!
It has little spiciness or bitterness, so it is like a white wine.
It went well with Cobb salad.
Pairing: Various kinds of mackerel sushi, tuna sashimi, chikuwa isobe-age, kobu salad

Today, we opened a bottle of "Koei Kiku" hiyaoroshi "Tsukikage".
It has a beautiful taste with clear acidity and clean umami. As the temperature rises, the umami expands and the flavor structure becomes more robust.
A bottle to savor long autumn evenings. Delicious: ‼️

Koeikiku Tsukikage Shinriki - Unfiltered unpasteurized sake brewed with natural lactic acid bacteria
Rated 4.4
Rice: Kumamoto Shinriki, Alcohol content: 15%.
A fresh, juicy flavor with a high acidity due to the natural lactobacillus brewing process. The aroma is fresh and youthful, with a sweet rummy aroma. It has a clear yet umami flavor, and as it comes into contact with air after opening the bottle, the distinctive pushiness of the Kimoto type comes forward. There is a lingering taste of astringency and acidity.
The lactic acidity is slightly Yakult-like. Overall, it is light. The lingering herbal taste at the convergence is refreshing.

The initial aroma is lactic sweet, like drinking yogurt with added sugar.
In the mouth, a languid sweetness spreads first, then gradually rounded acidity, pleasant bitterness like grapefruit, and a refreshing citrus aroma. The mild sweetness spreads again toward the finish and continues downwards with a slight alcohol taste. It is not just a bit sharp.
The name may be pulling you in, but it really feels like an orange or blood orange.
Good, but I'd prefer something a little lighter.
