A gift from an acquaintance.
It is crisp,
The polished rice is more refreshing.
It is best served cold,
It would be good with oden or other Japanese dishes with soup stock.

Recommendation ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Second day of my Kanazawa drinking frenzy 🍶.
On this day, we visited the Yachiya Sake Brewery, whose representative brand is "Kagatsuru" 😊.
We were greeted by a mother who talked a lot and explained everything in a very friendly manner ✨.
We had a tasting while listening to her talk about various things, but I was so absorbed in the conversation that I accidentally forgot to take a picture 😓.
We were served three kinds of sake, of which we bought the "Lord Toshiie Maeda Special Junmai Sake", which was the easiest to drink and most delicious, and "Kagatsuru Junmai Daiginjo", which we did not taste, but which we thought was fruity and sweeter.
I haven't opened the bottle yet, but I'd like to taste it carefully. ☺️

The second bottle on the way home from an izakaya shinkansen.
The aroma is mild, but the flavor is of the rice flavor type.
The taste is soft and well-balanced, not flashy but with a strong umami. It can be served chilled, but it is likely to be more umami when served at room temperature or lukewarm.
Pairing] Grilled fish, simmered vegetables, miso-based dishes
Repeat Score】1.5
I will have this one tonight. It is a gift from my son in Kanazawa. It has an elegant aroma and is smooth and delicious.
