When I heard that there was a special Kangiku sake that is only released once every four years, I had to buy it 🍶! Not only is it rare, but it's also special in that it's an unfiltered raw sake with a milled rice ratio of 29% ✨.
Gohyakumangoku is a personal favorite of mine, so I was happy to see how well it matched 😊.
I took it all the way out on my annual trip and opened the bottle at the hotel where I was staying 🍾.
The aroma is gorgeous, sweet and fruity, like white peaches.
The mouthfeel is soft and gentle, sweet but refreshing. No bitterness, which is also a characteristic of this polish.
The overall impression was fragrant, fruity, yet clear and transparent.
Of course it was delicious, but it was too refreshing, and there was a sense that the alcohol taste was a little noticeable. As a drinker who is usually concerned about the cost, I may prefer Denshogikiku (even if I am in the mood for it) if we are drinking the same nigori sake.
But it was a special memory for me, including the fact that I drank it during my trip ✨.
