I drank it outside, on the day the bottle was opened for the Twinbow and the second bottle for the Kakushin. The balance of the two rainbows, from the aroma to the finish, is the best in all of sake for me. And I like it the best. Pears and strawberries on the nose, rose bouquet and brown sugar on the base. Muscat and Earl Grey at the end. Kakushin is clear and fresh, mineral and blood orange, without weight or blueness, adding to the freshness of the raw sake, though not gassy. I think this one is more of a swiss than a slow savor. The 35% polish is the same for both Shuangong and Kakushin, but this finish on a different type is just too awesome to not respect. People often say that there are many good sake other than Jyushiyo, and I think they are right. However, I haven't had or know of any sake that I think is as good as or better than these two. (Sorry for being so cheeky 🙇️) They were both so wonderfully delicious that it made me think so.
