The mouthfeel is rather sweet, with no unpleasant ginjo flavor, and it is an easy-drinking type of sake that wears off quickly and easily. It is not a sharp sake, but it is easy to drink.
Surprise!
I never thought I would encounter this flavor in an Ehime sake!
From the clear aroma, it has my favorite lactic acid bacteria based, kangiku type flavor. It is my number one recommendation for Ehime's local sake.
Tasteless? The moment I thought "tasteless", I felt the umami in the back? It was the first time I tasted the mineral content.
Pokotaro, who is from Ehime Prefecture, was curious about this sake. This is KAGIYA's standard.
This is the second installment of my Kochi Matsuyama trip🚗. I have been drinking Kagiya Nine since I first learned about the sake level when I drank it a long time ago and found out that I like sake with a level of dry 9 or so. Since that time, I have had many different kinds of sake, and I think my taste for sweet sake has also become more acceptable.
This one is what I would call a light, umami-kuchi sake.
It is not fruity, but rather a sake to enjoy the deliciousness of the rice and the sake flavor. It is also good as a heated sake.

A local sake we drank in Matsuyama 🍶.
Well-balanced sweetness, flavor, and acidity, perfect as a food sake 😋.
The third one is a dashiwari (soup stock) sake from a different restaurant.
I ordered it just to try it out, but it had a unique taste....
I ordered 🍢 and 🍶 separately,
I ordered both separately and put them in my mouth to make my own original dashiwari....
I guess I'm a cheapskate... 🤣.
The 4th picture was taken out of pity for such stinginess.
The fourth one is an advertisement for investment in a brewery 💸.
The first souvenir of returning home
Iyo Gagiya, which is hard to find in Kansai
The name "Harmony" is derived from the word "Waeru" written on the label.
The moderate acidity and umami of rice go well with meals.
Since it is a pure sake, be careful not to drink too much!
