This is my eighth post from the San Francisco Bay Area. I've been busy with work lately, and, I realized, it's my 38th birthday. This sake was carefully stored. Elegant, rich, sweet aroma, with a strong kick after a solid sense of roundness.
I toasted to the day when I will be able to drink a lot of sake when I return to Japan next month. I wish I could drink sake that I can't drink in San Francisco with all you sake lovers 🙌!
Overall, it is refreshing and fruity. The acidity is the predominant flavor from start to finish, with sweetness and umami following in its wake from the mid-palate. It has a nice lightness and lightness characteristic of dry sake from the Hokuriku region, which also calls itself "dry".

It has a subtle aroma of rice and a gentle flavor of rice,
The taste is clean, light, and refreshing.

The spiciness is smoothly absorbed by the richness of the umami flavor.
The pungent taste is combined with the rich umami flavor and lingers in the mouth.
A souvenir that a business associate bought for me because he likes Japanese sake. I don't usually buy sake in this size, so it was new to me. There are many brands with "Kaga" in the name, but I think this is the first time I have had this brand.
The first sip is easy to drink. Even though it is dry, I personally find it an easy brand to drink. I think the taste is easy to combine with anything in cooking. Maybe it is a standard in Kanazawa. If you find it, I recommend it.
The 200th sake from Sake-no-Wa is a limited-edition Junmai Daiginjo from Kagatobi, the sake that made me fall in love with Japanese sake. Made with 100% fukunohana, Hyogo's preferred rice for sake brewing, this sake is gentle on the palate and has a pleasant fruity aroma on the finish.
Good morning, Riou 😃.
Congratulations on your 200 check-in ㊗️㊗️ with Kagatobi, the sake 🍶 that kick-started your love for sake 🎉It's good to look back with the Kiri number 🤗.
Thank you, Jay & Nobby. I actually drink more (lol), but I registered to get to 200 so as not to be covered as much as possible. Kagatobi is the sake that made me fall in love with sake, so I'm glad it was the last one 😊.
Masaaki Sapporo. Thank you very much. I was hooked on Kagatobi for a while after drinking it as a tokoso (New Year's drink), and it opened my eyes to other sake (lol). This limited edition sake is easy to drink because it is gentle on the palate.
Rio, congratulations on your 200th check-in 🎉!
It's nice to celebrate this milestone with Kagatobi, the sake that started it all and the one you drink the most 😋.
Let's continue to enjoy drinking more and more 🤗.
Highball, but ......

Dry and refreshing.
It doesn't feel too much like sake.
It seems to be clear and goes well with all kinds of food.
There seems to be lemon in it, but it is not so obvious.
I don't usually drink highballs, so it's hard to evaluate.
I'd love to take this and an ekiben on the izakaya shinkansen 👍
I'd like to do that someday.
I wish I could spend more time on the train.
It was delicious 😋😋😋😋.
