We received a bottle of Kangiku's summer sake, Ocean 99 Aomi. This is the fourth in the Ocean 99 series: Ginkai, Nagi, Kukai, and Aokai. Two months after Kukai in early summer, the season has changed to mid-summer. The blue label, which reminds us of the summer sea, is cool to the eyes and gives us a feeling of freshness when we see the wide ocean. When poured into a glass, it has a slightly thickened texture and a sweet aroma. As you look at it, fine bubbles appear and appeal to the freshness. The taste is quite sweet. It is probably the sweetest of the past four Ocean 99 series. Of course, it is not only sweet, but also has a fresh fruitiness with acidity and a refreshing feeling typical of summer sake. In particular, a distinct bitterness lingers in the aftertaste, which resets the sweetness in the mouth. As I always say, Kangiku sake has a unique flavor in common, and of course I can sense it in this Seikai. This flavor makes you feel that you are drinking a unique Kangiku sake and gives you a sense of satisfaction. Since it is already autumn after Obon, I wanted to finish the summer sake before Obon, but there are still a few bottles left. It looks like this summer will last a little longer.
