Chokki
Tamitsu Kimu Tank pressing
60% 15% 1800ml 3630 yen
Purchased at a liquor store in Yotsugi, Katsushika-ku, Tokyo. The name "Kiau" means "Kiu" in Japanese.
It is made from Hachikan-nishiki Nishiki, and is once-fired sake.
The fruitiness is green apple and pear-like.
It has a bitter aftertaste that does not drag on the sweetness. It would go well with French cuisine.
After 3 days, the sweetness seems to be more full-bodied than when the bottle was opened.
It is said that they dare not put a specific name on the bottle and do not label it "Junmai" (pure rice). The fact that it is made entirely by tank pressing is also attractive.
However, it was ranked 12th out of 15 in the Kinsho Kai. Is there anything so bad about it?
