Yesterday, I went to my parents' house to see them.
Since my father was hospitalized for a serious illness, I have been trying to visit them whenever I feel like it. My father told me that he has not been doing well lately, but we had a few beers and talked a lot about the old days after a long time, and I was glad to see him smiling and talking with my mother.
Now, let me preface this by saying that the sake I drank at my parents' house was Koei-Kiku Sunburst from Koei-Kiku Sake Brewery, which was the first sake from the brewery I had ever tasted.
I found out about this one from Sake-no-Wawa and was finally able to get a hold of Koei-Kiku, which is highly rated.
Now, let's have it right away.
First, the aroma. The aroma is not very strong.
In the mouth, there is a gentle complexity and a refreshing citrus flavor 🎵It also has a raw, unfiltered feel.
The mouthfeel is surprisingly smooth and you can easily drink as many glasses as you like.
In the second half, a salty taste comes to the surface, and while the citrus flavor is still present, there is a slight bitterness.
The lingering sourness is a delicious and refreshing finish to this sake.
The taste was as good as the rumors say ✨It was a blissful evening today as well.

Thanks for your comment, Pon-chan.
My parents are basically good friends, and although they say they don't usually talk much, they talked to me a lot yesterday, laughing a lot, and on the contrary, they cheered me up. ☺️
If you have a chance, Pon-chan, please give it a try!
