Kangiku is a sake brewery where all the sakes are seasonal and limited edition. That's why I don't know which one to drink lol.
I bought it when I happened to see it introduced on a YouTube channel as a recommendation for spring sake.
The aroma is rumney and apple...but it's not a cider either. It is a very popular fruity type with an additional pineapple aroma when you include it.
Despite its gorgeous aroma, it is surprisingly dry and smooth on the palate. I personally prefer this one because it is drier than you would expect from just the supernatant... lol...
When mixed with the tailings, the sweetness and umami come out and become well-balanced. This is the original form... This one seems to be more popular than the supernatant only.
Personally, I think it is best to finish it as soon as possible. 3 days is not bad, but the best condition for this sake to be at its best is 2 days. After that, I felt it was sweeter and had more of a cloying taste, so I guess many people would rather drink it that way. In general, it was very tasty! Kangiku is always great, no matter when I drink it...
