A new sake released by Koei Kiku that we are in the process of pursuing. It is impossible not to try it.
As the name "Twilight Orange" suggests, it has a fresh sweetness reminiscent of oranges. It is also fresh and juicy, truly orange-like. With a balance of acidity and slight bitterness, it is definitely an orange, not a honeydew. It is hard to believe that it is made from rice and water.
The bitterness is not as strong as in Snow Crescent, which has a grapefruit feel, and the sweetness is the axis of the flavor.
The woody nuances that I have found in other Kouei Kiku sakes were also apparent in this twilight orange. Was the origin from the brewing water or the raw rice? Could it be from the yeast or the facilities? This unique nuance is what makes Koei Kiku unique to me and what I like about it.
I can't wait to see what the next sake will be.

Thank you for your comments, Jay & Nobby....
Sake is a wonder, isn't it? Is it the power of the yeast 🧪 or is it the accumulated skills of making sake over the years 🧪 ⤴️ delicious sake is a benefit of that 😊.
