Koei Kiku Twilight Orange Hi-iri
Rating 4.3-4.4
Rice : Domestic, Polishing ratio : Undisclosed, Alcohol content : 13%.
This year, "Tasogare Orange", which has a citrusy taste like orange peel or grapefruit, is available again.
The crisp and resilient extract of Kouei Kiku is best matched with a citrus aroma and a fresh, shwashy feeling!
Toji's comment
The nose is reminiscent of passion fruit.
The nose is reminiscent of passion fruit, and the strong saccharification of the sake during unrefining gives it a dark citrus flavor, like 100% orange juice when you close your eyes.
After the sweetness, a pleasant bitterness and grapefruit-like acidity round out the lingering taste.
Light and easy to drink, but with a production date of 2025.3, it has been aged for some time, and because of the low alcohol content, it has a slightly rundown feel. Lactic acidity is also slightly noticeable. When lukewarm, the tartness fades and the passion orange flavor comes through nicely.
