Kankiku Ocean Ninety-Nine Toumi
Pineapple-like aroma and sweetness typical of Kankiku. Delicious without much sourness and bitterness.
Mr. Yanagishita, the master brewer, originally worked as an aircraft mechanic for JAL at Narita Airport, but his attachment to his hometown of Chiba and his desire to "do work that only I can do" led him to the path of sake brewing. After joining Kangiku Meikozo in the beer brewing department, he was selected to be the toji (master brewer), despite his lack of experience, when the previous master brewer retired. He initially trained under his predecessor and is now in charge of sake brewing as a toji.
The name "Kangiku" is said to have come from the appearance of Kangiku (chrysanthemum blooming in winter), which blooms strongly and beautifully even in the coldest season.
