The new flavor was created by blending several bottles of sake brewed in the spring of 2024, which he brewed himself, and adjusting the flavor to create a warm and gentle sake for the coming midwinter. It is said to have a characteristic flavor that spreads quickly in the mouth.
Sake rice is "Shizuku Ehime" produced in Ehime Prefecture, rice polishing ratio is 60%, and yeast is undisclosed.
Served well chilled✨
It has a smooth entry, with a hint of sweetness, followed by bitterness and sourness that quickly fades away. It is a sake to pair with cold winters, and as you drink it, the flavor of the rice gradually spreads out👍.
I paired it with corned beef tongue with corned beef potesalas and fried red kidney beans 😆 It also goes well with thicker snacks like the fried red kidney beans 🤤.
This is my second visit to Kagiya.
I've been drinking a lot of fruity stuff lately, so it's been a while since I've had a mild but "sake! It's been a while since I drank anything fruity, so this was the first time in a while.
I love that they used a child's drawing as the label!
Seiryu Shuzo
Kagiya Unfiltered Ajiguchi Light Nigori Nama
Brewed sake has a negative image, but this one has the goodness of a honjozo sake.
The aroma has no unpleasant taste of alcohol, and it has the umami of rice and sweetness of a light nigori, with the sharpness of a honjozo sake and the high alcohol content of 18.5%.
The kind that makes you very drunk!
My regular liquor store was temporarily closed, so I went to a nearby brewery.
I was grateful for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the first pressing by chance!
It was fresh!
There is no acidity, but just the right amount of sweetness without any cloying taste.
Thank you, ma-ki! We are a family of complete non-drinkers except for me, and my sister's husband barely drinks a little 😂This beer tasting contest was hosted by my nephew Taro who likes to see adults having fun 😅.
