Kido Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate. I still like Kido for some reason, don't you? The fact that it is the manager's recommended sake helps, too. It is still light, yet has a strong umami flavor. It is a fun sake to drink.
Red sake made from red rice.
Slightly sweet, sour and bitter.
Perhaps it is my imagination, but it tastes like red wine.
It tastes like red wine.
The alcohol level is 13 degrees.
It is also wine-like.

We drank the regular junmai sake at a recent year-end party and were impressed with the taste and sharpness of Kido. Also purchased this year's new sake. It has a fresh, sweet fruit aroma with a hint of green. The mouthfeel is dry with a slight carbonation, followed by an apple-like sweet and sour taste. The bitter aftertaste of new sake and the acidity leave a lasting impression. This year's Kido is also delicious.
Today's special junmai sake made with Kido no Omachi from Heiwa Shuzo in Wakayama Prefecture❗️
The aroma is fresh and sweet❗️As you take a sip, after a slightly dense texture, a fruity sweetness with a slight numbness comes to the tip of the tongue❗️Ginjo-like wonderful sake⭕️
Fruity, umami, sharpness, clarity, all highly balanced. The good reputation is certain. I like it best among today's three types, Kido, Mizubasho, and Mimuro Sugi. I don't know about the regular price, but it has good izakaya cosmetics.

Pear aroma and elegant taste
The sweetness of the rice, which I think old men would like, was also apparent amidst the youthfulness of the sake.
It made me think that this is the kind of sake that I would like to drink with a glass of wine.
