Hori
We received Snow Crescent from Koei Chrysanthemum.
Snow Crescent is one of my favorite Koei-Kiku's. This is the standard Yamada Nishiki.
There is no sign of Yuyamanishiki and Sagabiyori coming out this season, so this will likely be the last bottle.
The moment we opened the bottle, the cork hit the ceiling with a popping sound. I've had several bottles of Snow Crescent, and this was the most energetic I've ever had.
As usual, it's a shriveled, lightly cloudy, fresh and juicy with a refreshing grapefruit-like bitterness that is always the most delicious every time I drink it.
It is our family's most heavily-rotated bottle, and we would like to keep it in stock all year round if possible, but there is the problem of refrigerator capacity, and above all, we had to remember that Snow Crescent is a winter sake to begin with.
On that note, there is a new product out this year called NOON CRESCENT, and I would be happy if this could be a replacement for Snow Crescent. Also, Sunburst, which I had for the first time last year and enjoyed, should be coming out in the future, so I am looking forward to that as well.
Honored Chrysanthemum, I will continue to enjoy it as much as I can.
