First taste of Kijoshu
I had an image of it being sweet and rich, but it was different; it was more acidic and not as sweet as I expected. It is mellow but refreshing.
I think I'll get addicted to it.
The label is cool ❗
It is not as fruity and light as Gagakuyo, but it is a beautiful sake with melon-like sweet acidity and a good gasiness and sharpness 🍷.
First time drinking Garakudai's Spring Sake
It's like a light and refreshing Niigata sake.
Personally, I prefer the low-alcohol Garakudai Hiyori.
It goes perfectly with steamed meat buns.

This is one of my favorite drinks I've ever had.
Purchased by mail order and served with spicy lotus root as a snack.
First of all, it has a strong fruit-like aroma, which is typical of daiginjos. It smells like ripe bananas or pears.
The taste also has a fruity sweetness, but it is not sweet at all, and while it has a robust flavor, it is very easy to drink, with none of the tanginess that I dislike when it goes down the throat.
The production is limited to 2,000 bottles per year.

It has more acidity than I expected, but the mouthfeel is quite mild. It has a strange and delicious feeling that it disappears without a hitch even though it is a bit of a dry sake.
I have the impression that it is better suited for drinking after a meal than after the second glass.
