KOEIKU/SNOW CRESCENT/Ouyama-Nishiki/Unfiltered unpasteurized sake 4.0 Purchased online for the first time for drinking at home. It has a well-balanced acidity and a bubbly taste reminiscent of "Abe". For a moment, I even thought it was Abe. Along with the effervescence, it has a sweet taste like lychee. The bittersweet acidity is accentuated. The restrained acidity broadens the combination with food. Personally, I think the flavor of the rice and the lingering aftertaste could have been brought out more. I would like to match this wine with izakaya menus. Especially grilled or boiled fish. Since it is different from regular sake, it should be a very interesting marriage. Kouei Kiku is really at a high level. It should be a threat to Nabeshima, also from Saga. The cosy price of 1,925 yen including tax. I have been drinking too much summer sake lately, so it had a punch.
