Timeline
KumakichiLimited time OCEAN99 series by Kangiku Meikozo
Hoshikai is a junmai daiginjo of unfiltered unpasteurized sake brewed with comets
After opening the bottle, we could enjoy the shuwashu that is typical of the unfiltered, unpasteurized sake!
We compared it with Tasake's Comet, and this one had a sweet flavor that could be enjoyed immediately after opening the bottle.
It had the crispness that is typical of unfiltered undiluted sake, and it was very drinkable, so I could drink as much as I wanted!
Rice polishing ratio: 50%.
Alcohol content: 14%. KumakichiTasake's Red Comet is now on sale again this year
Tasake Junmai Ginjo Comet
The red bottle of Comet is an annual must-have among Tasake's limited-edition sake.
The name and bottle design of the "Red Comet" is a heartwarming name and design for the Gundam generation.
The taste is a little hard? I had the impression that it was all sourness and sharpness without much sweetness and flavor, but it turned into something else on the third or fourth day!
The sweetness and flavorful expansion in the mouth is excellent, and when you drink it with a gulp, you will be very satisfied with the clean and crisp taste.
I was very satisfied with the clean and sharp taste when I drank it with a gulp.

Kangiku Meikozo OCEAN99 Aomi
This is a junmai ginjo summer sake made from polished Dewa Sanzu.
It has a full-bodied sweet flavor, apple-like freshness, and a delicious acidity!
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 14%. KumakichiBuy Kangiku Meizou's favorite True White to be released in early summer.
Until last year, the "True Red" was released at the same time, but this year they are not releasing it!
True White is a Junmai Daiginjo made by polishing Omachi and I liked the balance of sweet and tasty with a refreshing acidity.
Rice polishing ratio: 50%.
Alcohol content: 15%. KumakichiWhen I was patrolling my usual liquor store, I found Kawanakajima Genmai quietly lined up on the shelf, so I bought it!
I love Oumachi, Kinmonniki and Miyamanishiki among the Kawanakajima Gentmai! I immediately opened the bottle and found it to be a deep sweet-umami, typical of Kawanakajima Gentmai O Omachi!
It was not too sweet, but had a nice sharpness and a bitter aftertaste.
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 16%. KumakichiI finally stopped by my favorite liquor store on my way home, but the limited edition sake I was aiming for was sold out,
So, I bought this one, which I had been curious about for a long time but had not been able to buy yet.
Toyo Bijin Bessen Yamadanishiki
I have had many kinds of Toyo Bijin, but the sweet and tasty ones are the best!
However, this Bessen is unexpectedly priced at 1,320 yen including tax!
It is surprising that you can buy it at a convenience store or supermarket class price!
I opened it right away and found it to be a bottle with a refreshing acidity and sweet flavor!
It is very easy to drink, but the high cost makes it easy on the wallet!
Rice polishing ratio: Undisclosed (made from Yamadanishiki produced in Hagi)
Alcohol content: 15%. KumakichiThe fourth bottle of sake opened during GW was Silver Lining So no Mai 29 by Kangiku Meikozo.
This is a very extravagant yet highly affordable bottle of So-no-Mai polished to 29%!
As a lover of sweet and tasty sake, this is a must buy for me every time I buy this limited time sake from Kangiku!
It has a concentrated fruity aroma from the first sip, and when you take a sip, you can taste the sweetness, bitter flavor, and a fizzy, chiri-chiri-chiri feeling!
Rice polishing ratio: 29% (100% So-no-Mai produced in Chiba Prefecture)
Alcohol content: 15%. KumakichiA can of rice wine once a year
Tasake 40%5% Hyakuden Junmai Daiginjo

Rice polishing ratio: 45
Alcohol content: 16%. KumakichiApril, which was a very busy month for both work and private life, is over before you know it.
I want to take my time and nourish my energy, so I opened a bottle of this one that had been sitting in my stock since last year.
Kawanakajima Genmai drop collection
All of the Genmai Kawanakajima are delicious and to my liking, but this sophisticated one is only sold during this season, so I managed to secure it!
When we immediately opened the bottle, we were enchanted by its beautiful taste. It is a refreshing sweet taste like an adult melon cider!
Rice polishing ratio: 35% (Yamadanishiki)
Alcohol content: 16%. KumakichiI will have Kukai, Kangiku's OCEAN series, which reigns high on my personal list of the best cospa sake.
This is also a reasonably priced bottle, at around 1,500 yen for a four-pack, even amidst the rush to raise prices!
Even so, the fruity sweetness and flavor of the junmai ginjo specs were not to be missed!
Rice polishing ratio: 55% (sake brewing rice)
Alcohol content: 15%. としちゃんThe coming season

OCEAN99 Series Nagi: Available again this year!
The fresh, crisp, sweet and tasty like green apple is delicious!
Compared to the rich sweetness of Kangiku Meizou's lineup, the light mouthfeel and effervescence make it more enjoyable to drink, and it goes down your throat with a gusto!
Rice polishing ratio: 50
Alcohol content: 15%. 中塚龍雄As a special junmai, this sake is quite tasty if it's unpasteurized. I don't know much about Fukuoka sake, but it's also refreshing and good for temakizushi. KumakichiEikou Fuji opens a bottle of this one, which is shipped only once every four years in a leap year.
Eiko Fuji LEAP YEAR 2024 KODATSU
Since it is a rare bottle made with Aizan from Hyogo Prefecture, we compared it with our favorite Houou Mita Black Phoenix, which is also made with Aizan!
The aroma of Eiko Fuji is gorgeous, the taste is rich and sweet, and the well-balanced flavor of Aizan is superb!
I think this is the time of year when Love Magic using Aizan is usually released, but I wonder if they are switching to this one this year?
In any case, it was a delicious bottle!
Rice polishing ratio: 50%.
Alcohol content: 16.7 KumakichiLast year I was lucky enough to be able to buy a bottle of Tasake's light nigori, which I couldn't afford last year by a hair's breadth.
The first cup was only the supernatant, and we enjoyed the fresh acidity that is typical of new sake!
The second glass, when mixed with the ori, was a perfect match with the rich sweetness and flavor!
I almost finished it on the first day, but I will try to hold on and enjoy the changes tomorrow and the day after!
Rice polishing ratio: 50%.
Alcohol content: 16%. KumakichiMy personal Top 3 favorite sake in Nagano
Kawanakajima Genmai Miyamanishiki Unfiltered Nama Sake
It has a fresh and fruity flavor that is typical of nama-shu, but it also has a strong umami taste that makes it very drinkable!
It is a bottle that you can keep on drinking!
Rice polishing ratio: 49
Alcohol content: 16%. KumakichiSave up for the sake you've been wanting for a long time.
I was wondering until the last minute whether I should buy a bottle of this sake or not, so I decided to compare it with No. 7 yeast.
Yamamoto No.6 Yeast Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama-shu
This bottle was brewed with yeast No. 6 from Shinmasa.
It was so good last year that we are repeating this year!
When you take a sip, you get the impression that it is a little bit hard,
The sweetness and umami did not develop, and only the acidity was a little tangy,
I heard that this year's rice was hard to dissolve, so I let it sit for a few days and let the temperature rise, and the sweetness and umami were much more pronounced.
It was delicious, but the impression was not as high as last year's, and I finished it!
