Out-of-season Kangiku drinking comparison of two types (2). Purchased at an online store for a small premium. I thought it was not in the best condition since it was produced in July 2022.
The theme of the Discovery Series is to explore the charms and possibilities of rice produced in Chiba Prefecture.
The price is 1,980 yen including tax. Kangiku is too cosy. It is understandable why it is so difficult to obtain.
The mouthfeel is mellow and easy to drink. The umami of rice and lingering bitterness echoes like Kangiku. This is a perfect food sake. I would like to try it with white fish. It is not bad at room temperature. However, I think it could be more effervescent and aromatic.
Personally, I don't like the label design that looks like champagne because it is too cool (laugh). I prefer a "quality and robust" label like Shinshu Kamerei.
