The first thing that hits you when you open the bottle is the aroma. Sweet and fruity, it is juicy like a lychee on the palate. The acidity and umami spread slowly, and the aftertaste is refreshing. The slight piquancy accentuates the taste, making it a perfect bottle for a hot day. How can such a fruity flavor be produced with only rice, koji, and water? Kouei Kiku, you're not just an ordinary guy after all 🍶✨. A friend of mine from Saga is going to India for a post, so I chose this Harujion as a bottle for his send-off party. I paired it with striped hokke, pickled Chinese cabbage, and boiled qinggengcai. They all complemented the juiciness and freshness of this sake. It was a night when the loneliness of sending off the guests and the tenderness of the sake sunk in.

Good evening, Kojikoji😄. The choice of Saga's Koei Chrysanthemum for the farewell party of your friend from Saga is very poignant. I am sure it will be an unforgettable taste of memories. ☺️ I hope we can welcome you again with Koei Chrysanthemum when you come back home again. ✈️

It's been a while since I bought some sake today. At Imadeya in Kinshicho PARCO. A four-pack of sake costs about 1,800 yen. Under 2,000 yen for a bottle with this taste is a pretty good price. The aroma is subdued and the mouthfeel is mild. There is no gaseous sensation, and the mouthfeel is classic and calm. The umami and acidity spread slowly, and the aftertaste is smooth and clean. Tonight's accompaniments are hamo and baby squid. The three of us quickly found ourselves drinking the entire bottle. It was a great hit with my father-in-law and his wife.

My wife gave me this bottle for Father's Day. The aroma is fresh, muscat-like ginjo aroma. In the mouth, sweetness and acidity spread softly from the gentle mouthfeel. In the mid-palate, a slight spiciness emerges, and finally it disappears without a trace. There is no gassiness, and overall, this wine is very fruity and easy to drink. It was like a cool white wine, a new aspect of sake.

The aroma is slightly rummy. In the mouth, it starts out light and sweet...but don't let your guard down. The spiciness and umami spread from the mid-palate, The aftertaste is very smooth and clean...this is a "be careful not to drink too much" type of sake. The fried green pepper and baby sardines, and the crispy grilled chicken thigh. Both go perfectly with the dish! The fatty chicken has a great spicy aftertaste, and the green pepper and baby sardines have a savory flavor. This is the perfect summer dinner 🍶🔥.

Classic dry junmai sake. When served well chilled, it has a smooth, refreshing taste with a rich, full-bodied flavor, When served well chilled, it has a full-bodied, refreshing mouthfeel with a clean, crisp finish. It has no cloying taste and is truly an "easy-to-drink dry sake. The flavor profile becomes more pronounced when served cold. On this day, I paired it with fresh firefly squid, a souvenir from Toyama. The local flavors went well together. A perfect bottle for a quiet evening drink. Pouring it into a 📷 tin sake cup, the first sip is a clean and elegant "whoa" moment. We definitely recommend drinking it cold!

A bottle of sake, well chilled. This bottle was purchased at a select store in Nishi-Funabashi Station. The aroma is slightly sweet, and when you take a sip, the taste goes from umami to slightly spicy, and then it quickly goes down smoothly. It is truly a beauty of light and dry taste. It is a perfect match for fresh firefly squid, a Toyama souvenir, and the contrast with the wasabi is also a nice touch. A toast to early summer in Japan ✨.

マジうまし。香りフルーティー、口当たり柔らかな甘さ、柔らかい旨味、ほんのりピリ感、優しい苦味が優しく消えていきます。すべてが優しく(笑)、それはバランスというのか。他の日本酒とは別格に感じるんですよねぇ。贔屓目に見すぎなのでしょうか。 追記 妻の友人のお土産です。まじ感謝。

Purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop in Yaetika after my run, I think it was about 1.6k. Very fresh. Mouthfeel, gas feeling on the tip of the tongue. The flavor spreads. It cuts cleanly. Delicious.

My birthday. Purchased by my wife at Imadeya. Thank you! It is hot in Tokyo today. Fresh on the palate. It tastes like a soft sweet rum. The middle taste is soft and delicious. The aftertaste is sour and slightly bitter, and it disappears in a pushy way. It quenches the thirst. Summer sake is very good. By the way, the whitish color of the bottle is due to overcooling. Originally, the bottle is clear and light blue.
