This is a junmai made kijoshu. As indicated by the sake's "-17" sake meter, this sake is characterized by its sweetness. As is typical of Iyo Kagiya, this bottle has a light sweetness that does not tire the drinker, well-balanced acidity, and a pleasant lingering aftertaste that can be enjoyed for a long time. Enjoy it with cheese and dried fruits. It can also be served with vanilla ice cream for an adult dessert.

First Ehime sake. The aroma is faint. The taste is like a traditional junmai sake. I prefer it warmed up rather than chilled, as it is mellower. Good for the coming season.
