Kangiku Jushinmu 50-Hazy Moon
This is an unfiltered, unfiltered, raw sake with a dry, cloudy taste.
It is made from "Jukinmu," a relatively new sake rice variety bred in Fukuoka Prefecture in 2010 from a crossbreed of Yamadanishiki and Yume-Ichikai.
The name is derived from the ancient custom of enjoying hanami (flower-viewing) sake by viewing a crescent moon lying in the hazy spring night sky as a cup, and it is corked on the full moon of April, or pink moon day.
The vigorous corking of the bottle foreshadows a lively, effervescent sensation.
The nose has a pear-like overtone, and in the mouth, as expected, the powerful gassiness is intriguing. Berry-like sweetness.
The finish is dry and crisp with a refreshing bitterness. The impression of sweetness increases as the cork gets involved, and the balance is exquisite!
Unfortunately, the clouds prevented us from seeing the pink moon, but it was a refreshing bottle that blew away such feelings!

Good morning, YSTJ!
I'm sure you're aware of the moon that gives Kotobukinmoku its name 😁✨.
I've read your review and it seems to be well balanced with a nice gasiness 😋.
I got mine and am looking forward to drinking it 😊.

Personally, it was one of the best cold chrysanthemums I have received recently 😆 Enjoy 😉.
