50th Anniversary Sake, first drink. Smells like green tea ice cream. Lactic acidity as the temperature rises. It is smooth, with the sweetness of rice, spiciness, and a firm taste in the middle, and the strength and bitterness of the alcohol give it a sharp taste. It is delicious and appetizing. Try it on the rocks as recommended. The sweetness stands out, and the bitterness and lactic acidity give it a refreshing kick. There is a gentle flavor of rice in the middle.

A light drink on a weekend evening. The alcohol is a little high, but it is mild and not stimulating. The taste of cooked rice is backed up by a discreet fruitiness, like melon or white grapes. Slightly thickened mouthfeel. A quiet drink on a weekend evening. noticeable alcohol but smooth and gentle. cooked rice umami with delicate notes of melon and white grape, and a softly viscous texture.

This is the last of the consecutive holidays! It's a nigori sake from Kikusui that I caught at the supermarket! I bought it because it said it goes well with kimuchi nabe! But I don't have kimuchi nabe! Haha! For some reason, I drank it while grilling saury outside my house! The taste is alcoholic from the aroma, then sweetness comes and then the alcohol comes again! It was too much alcohol for me... yes! It's a liqueur, isn't it? I'm not sure if it's a liqueur or not. I tried to drink it with carbonated water, which naoji taught me! Oh...this is good! It alleviates a lot of the weird al-ness and sweetness... Thank you 😊

★★★ Alcohol! It feels like alcohol. It's very strong. As expected at 19 degrees. The sweetness is strong and sharp. The aroma is mild. It was too thick to drink as it was, so I tried it on the rocks. Yes, it is better this way. I want to drink a small amount of this sake in small sips.

This sake is sweet, drinkable, refreshing, and crisp. Kikusui is delicious, after all. And sake in a can has a freshness to it! No, it is a delicious sake.
