A muscat-flavored sake with a strong acidity.
It is not very sweet, so there is a grapefruit-like nuance.
If you drink it without knowing anything about it, you may think it is a naturale wine, but it is more like a wine.
The aroma changes rapidly from the moment you smell it to the moment you swallow it.
It is a very interesting drink, but it also has a lot of peculiarities, so people who don't like root beer or Dr. Pepper may not like it.
The taste and aroma of this strange drink are more in the realm of a liqueur than a craft liquor.
My first Ko no Tsukasa.
It's a good thing about hanpukai that you can encounter sakes you've never had before.
The aroma is mild, with a hint of muscat.
The sweetness and deliciousness is first felt, but the acidity soon arrives and it is quickly snapped up.
This is delicious!
The aroma is that of a classic type of kijoshu, with a discernible sweetness.
One sip and it smells completely of plum wine.
But the taste of ume-shu doesn't come through, so it makes my head feel a little buggy.
There is a fair amount of sourness, but the sweetness is stronger, making it perfect for sipping after a meal.
It seems a bit thinner than last year's and a bit underwhelming on its own. It may be better suited for eating with food.
That said, the balance of sweetness, flavor, and acidity is outstanding.
Mamma calpis soda strawberry flavor!
The bottle opens easily, although it feels quite gassy when you drink it.
Perhaps due to a cold, the aroma is only slightly lactic acidic.
I was careless and the lid blew off, and then the contents blew off too.
It may have been because I left it too long, but it was so sizzling that I thought it was sparkling.
The aroma is mild, but there is a faint scent of lactic acidity.
The sweetness is moderate, but it is juicy, like muscat or pear with a sourness that is typical of Abé.
It is my first time to drink Nama-shu ver.
This may be my first time to taste a gassy kijoshu.
It has acidity, but it is not balanced by sweetness, and the sweetness is always dominant.
The sweetness is not sticky, so it is easy to drink.
I'm going to open it to organize the fridge.
A rather thin-lined sake.
The balance of sweetness and acidity is subtle when fresh from the refrigerator, but improves as the temperature rises.
I was also surprised to find that there was quite a bit of gas left in the bottle.
No. 6 after a long time
I remember that I was annoyed and bought this one when I lost the lottery for the N-type.
I had forgotten about it, but finally opened the bottle.
The aroma is mild, but very much like muscat and sugared pink grapefruit.
There is almost no aroma.
The moment you put it in your mouth, you feel the gentle sweetness of rice, and the moment you think it is a sweet sake, it snaps.
There is also a sourness from the carbonation, which gives it a very refreshing aftertaste.
The slight bitterness is also a nice accent.
I've had the non-activated one before, but this was my first time drinking activated sake.
As per the information from the brewery, the bottle opened easily.
I remember that the non-activated one was thick and unctuous, but the slightly carbonated feeling just balanced the sweetness, acidity, and richness.
I might have let it sit a little longer to make it more carbonated.
This was the first time I was able to buy and drink Jikin.
It is totally different from Takasago, which I have had before, and has a sweet-tart taste.
There is a berry acidity and a bit of bitterness at the end, but it is beautiful to the end.
It has been a while since I have encountered a sake that easily overcomes hurdles!
The aroma makes it sound very sweet.
When you drink it, it tastes like sugar juice soaked in apricots.
It is not the type of kijo-zake that is balanced by acidity these days, but rather, it has a fruity taste, but the sweetness explodes until the very end.
It is a sake to be enjoyed as a dessert before or after a meal, so I don't think I would drink it during a meal.
It has a very refreshing aroma, though the gininess is weak.
Both sweetness and sourness are stronger than the sake made in collaboration with Thornball.
I hear it will become a regular lineup in the future.
I would be happy if they release a fire-aged version.
The aroma is that of a tropical fruit.
It has the most acidity of all the Huayoukusui I've had so far.
The sweetness is strong, but the sourness is even stronger, so the pineapple taste is very strong.
There is no bitterness at all and no alcohol taste, so be careful not to drink too much.
It is quite effervescent.
The alcohol content is low and light, but it has a solid sweet, sour, umami flavor.
It also has a juicy, pear-like flavor, and was gone in two days.
