Impressions on the 1st day
Mild and spicy, tastes like rice, but could use a little more aging...

This is another Kagatobi, a birthday present given to me by my former workmate.
Nigori
Nama
First, the supernatant.
It has a hint of acidity and is elegant and delicious.
Next, mix in the Ori.
It becomes thicker, but the elegant flavor is not lost. It is delicious 😋.
It becomes a little sweet in the middle of the meal, but it is difficult to describe, but I guess you could call it a flavor that doesn't go bad, a flavor that lasts until the very end.
Thank you for the food 🌟.
I'm going to spend a couple of months looking for the perfect birthday present for this girl 💪.
By the way, I had an unusually good day at work today. Well, sometimes you have to do that...
It starts out mild and mildly umami, then becomes tense in the middle, and finishes dry and crisp.
It is rare to have such a spicy aftertaste with a mild umami taste.
It is a well-made food sake that is surprising at the end, but has no peculiarities and can be drunk with ease.

The birthday present I get from a female colleague from my former company has been sake for the past many years😊and she does her best to choose it for me even though she's a non-drinker. I'm very happy about that ✨.
This year I got a set of 2 bottles of Kagatobi. Today I'm opening a bottle of this one.
It has a deep aroma, and when you smell it, it penetrates deep into your nostrils. I thought it might be sweet, but when I put it in my mouth, the sweetness is not so much sweet as it is umami. It is a very beautiful sake with no impurities. It is delicious. I savored it slowly (compared to our company).
I was in the office for 5 days this week, which is rare for me, but it was tough because of all the noise 😆 That said, I'm not sure about 4 days in Nagano next week. 2 nights and 3 days would be better 😅.
I got this sake at Fukumitsuya in Kanazawa, which I visited the other day.
It was more expensive than expected (about 5.5k, I think), but I bought it because it was delicious.
Personally, however, I preferred it when it was very cold (when I tasted it at Fukumitsuya) rather than at near room temperature (when I drank it at home this time).
Accompanying it were seared kuromutsu and jakoten (fish cake).
