Hori
We received a Merry Crescent from Koei Chrysanthemum. This is my favorite Koei Kiku Christmas label. It's a new product released for the first time this year. The label depicts Santa Claus riding in a sleigh with a bottle of sake. My stockpile has grown so large that I am chronically late in drinking seasonal sake, but I try to be on time for these events. This Merry Crescent was opened 17 days after purchase, which is unusually early for me. I was scared to open the bottle because of the warning tag, so the bottle did not pop, but I could feel the gas pressure in the bottle. When poured into a glass, a pleasant bubbly foam appeared. The taste has juicy apple nuances. It has a good degree of ooziness and a rich flavor. Although not as sparkling as a sparkling wine, it has a slightly carbonated gasiness, making it easy to pair with Western-style meals such as carpaccio and roast beef. This is a perfect bottle for a Christmas party.

Good morning, Hori 😃. Timely Hori Chrysanthemum's new 🎄‼️ I haven't bought it because I thought it might be too sweet 😅. I haven't bought it 😅I guess it's not that sweet? Looks delicious 😋.
