We received Hashu Homare 50 from Kangiku.
Hashu Homare is a rice suitable for sake brewing that was created by Tatsugoro Takagi, the 14th generation of Takagi Shuzo, after years of development. Hoshu Honor 50-Horizon is brewed with 80% Hoshu Honor and 20% Yamadanishiki.
It has the usual sweet and juicy flavor of Kangiku, but at the same time, it has a crisp and clean taste that is unique to Hanezu Honor.
I have been following Kangiku for the past year. I have not been able to drink all of them, but if I limit myself to the OCEAN99 and Occasional series, I think I have drunk about 80 to 90% of the sake released.
While each Kangiku sake has its own character, I feel that there is a consistent Kangiku character at the base of each sake. I am not sure if it is the water, the yeast, or the brewing method, but I can sense the same nuance in all of them. I feel that you can probably guess with a high degree of certainty whether it is a kangiku or not, even if you are blind tasting.
Because of its "character," I can always buy with confidence and never feel betrayed.
From now on, I will continue to follow OCEAN99 and drink mainly what I enjoyed and what I couldn't drink in the past year.

Good evening, Hori!
I also love Chrysanthemum coronarium ❤️ and I agree with you about the consistency of Chrysanthemum coronarium style ‼️ They all have different tastes, but there is a taste that is unique to Chrysanthemum coronarium 🧐I still want to follow more Chrysanthemum coronarium 🥰.

Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama!
I knew there was something there, like a unique cold chrysanthemum flavor.
I'm relieved I'm not the only one 😊.
This month is Aizan!
It was so good last year that I plan to buy it again this year!
