Today I bought a bottle of KID Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate from Kido in Wakayama, which I drank a year ago and enjoyed so much that I bought it again this year: ❗️
The aroma is a subtle scent of ginjo❗️ and when you take a sip, there is a sharp bitterness after a tingling texture on the tongue. Then a fruity sweet aroma passes through the nose❗️❗️I still think this sake is the best of all Kido's sake❗️ I'll buy some more this year❤️
Clear and colorless.
Mild melon-like fruity aroma.
Attack is normal, with a delicate texture.
Acidity precedes the sweetness. Good sharpness. Dry. Souzake.
It is clear, easy to drink, and sharp, so it seems to be easy to match with food. It is expected to have a wash reset effect with fatty dishes. Seems to go well with appetizers.
Fresh and sweet aroma gives a gorgeous impression.
The mouthfeel is soft and the sweetness, umami, and aroma spread in the mouth at once.
The finish is sharp and it is gone in no time at all.
Another feature of Kido is its good cost performance.
I should have bought another bottle...
I make love to you every time I make love to you!
I can't help but laugh at how far apart the quality and price are (and no, I'm grateful too) 🥹.
Conclusion....very tasty but cheap ‼️
Of course it is one of the best sake in this price range 🍶.
By the way, it costs 1,375 yen for a four-pack. ❗️ Isn't that crazy? Is it profitable?
I know I'm just talking about the price, but let's talk about the taste 😊.
The aroma is elegant and refreshing.
Fresh and juicy in the mouth✨✨
The sweetness comes first, then the umami and a good amount of sourness, and it finishes nicely 😋😋.
It is a clear sake with no strange peculiarities, and the various flavors are perfectly balanced and beautifully combined 🍶🍶.
I think it can be used as a food sake, but for me, it is a sake that I would like to drink by itself.
Thank you Heiwa Shuzo for all your hard work ✨😊😊.

Fresh and easy to drink with no peculiarities.
Considering the price of 1,375 yen, it may be a perfect score considering its cost performance.
Personal Favorite 8/10 points
It has a nice fruity aroma with fresh fruit and a refreshing feeling.
Fresh and gentle to drink, this is a quintessential Kido, with the highest level of taste and value for money.
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⭕️
