Kangiku's Ocean 99 Orange Sea is now available.
The subtitle of the Ocean 99 is "Arrival," and it is part of a trilogy along with Ginkai Departure and Kukai Inflight, each of which was designed to resemble an airplane flying over Kujukuri. The unexpected combination of sake and airplanes is probably due to the fact that the toji of Kangiku is a former aircraft mechanic.
The final bottle of the Flight Trilogy, Toukai, is also the last in the Ocean 99 series.
It is an autumn sake position of Kangiku, and it is an autumn sake that has been aged for one summer after it is pressed and fired during the cold season.
When poured into a glass, it has a sweet aroma and a slightly cloudy appearance. It is not cloudy, but rather a slightly cloudy white color. Although it is supposed to be a fire-aged sake, there are slight bubbles, and when you drink it, it has a gaseous and fresh feeling. The atmosphere is quite different from the hiyaoroshi sake we have been drinking recently.
The taste has a concentrated flavor, as is typical of autumn sake. Because it is fresh, it is not round and smooth, but it has a more dense sweetness than usual Kangiku, and is as fruity as ripe tropical fruits.
We enjoyed this autumn sake full of Kangiku's character.
