こるねSweet and fruity
It's been about five years since I've had Panda Festival. The last time I drank it was when I hadn't had any serious sake, but it was so sweet and delicious that it left a lasting impression on me.
It has a melon ginjo aroma. In the mouth, the fruity sweetness is followed by a strong rice flavor. The second half is even more flavorful and pleasantly bitter, and it's insanely delicious!
The title is MIXOLOGISTA. Mixology is a cocktail making process that combines fresh ingredients such as fruits and vegetables with alcohol, which has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is said to bring out the flavor of the ingredients themselves to the limit. The word "mix" comes from "mix" and "logic". The sake is a junmai ginjo, so all that's left is the rice and the rice base, but it's a mixology of fruity and deliciousness. It's fruity and delicious, with a touch of mixology.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be Sono-san from "Witch's Delivery Service", her third appearance in 10 days. He just appeared the other day, but his generous sweetness, deliciousness, and gentleness are really O-Sono-san. By the way, he used to work with Hououmita and Ryoseki. They are all my favorite sake.

こるねKikutaka and Koei Kiku Drink Comparison Part 3. This is the first Koei Kiku.
Koei Kiku, I had seen it on SNS after this year, but it never appeared in front of me. I didn't know if it had a stealth function or not. But finally I found it.
This one is also muddy. It is the least clear of the three. It is easy to see the difference because it was poured into a snake's eye cup.
The taste is still similar to Kikutaka. The sweetness and sourness of this sake is cute.
Comparing the three bottles, this one is the most refreshing and cute. The sourness of the lactic acid is more obvious than the sweetness of the rice.
And you can hardly feel the alcohol. Well, Kikutaka is 17 and 16 degrees and this is 13 degrees. But the acidity and sweetness is clear, without being thin.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be the little Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro. It's a translucent white guy with a stealth function. And it's still cute.
Satisfaction Level: ★★★★★☆ こるねThe second volume of Kikutaka and Koei Kiku drinking comparison. It is related to the dregs.
It looks amazing; there's a lot of solids floating around, about 1 square millimeter clearly visible, and I wonder if that's partly due to the aging process since it was made in December 2018.
The mouthfeel is mildly sweet and fizzy, which is very rare.
The sweetness of the rice and the sourness of the lactic acid are also characteristic of this cute sake. It has less bitterness and flavor than Yamahai. But the overall impression is strong. The aroma that goes through the nose at the end is also wonderful. It is very delicious.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be "My Neighbor Totoro"'s inside Totoro. Commonly known as the blue one. Basically, it looks like Kikutakayama Haiyu from the Big Totoro movie, but it's much cuter. I want to pick him up! But I'm still out of man's league, and I'm 679 years old.
Satisfaction Level: ★★★★☆ . 
こるねWe had a chance to compare 2 types of Kikutaka and Koei Kiku. It's a different brewery by the same brewer. You can see the photos of the three bottles on the second page.
After a quick taste, we'll start with the chrysanthemum hawk henbush.
This is a sweet mountain waste.
The aroma has a pleasantly rich, alcoholic feel of mountain waste and looks delicious. It's very exciting.
On the palate, surprisingly, the first thing that comes to mind is the firm sweetness of the rice. The lactic acid and fruity sourness make me think it's a refreshing sake. But after that, the full-bodied umami and bitterness that is typical of Sanpai spread slowly. The sweetness and sourness remains until the end.
This one was manufactured in February 2017. It's fresh, even though it's 3 years old on draft. Excellent.
If I were to compare it to Ghibli, it would be Totoro from "My Neighbor Totoro". It's like nature that is out of our control is alive. It's big and profound. But it's cute.
