Kumakichi
The second bottle of the long-awaited Kouei Chrysanthemum Kibo was opened.
I missed it last year by a hair's breadth and could not drink it even though I visited various stores.
This year, I went to buy it at a distributor and was able to buy it without any difficulty!
The label is typical of autumn sake, and the taste is different from Kouei-Kiku's shwashy, light and fresh acidity, but it has a lactic sweet mouthfeel and the umami that extends from it is gradually mellow like sweet brown sugar.
It was a different sweet flavor from the Koueikiku that I am used to drinking.
