For some reason, I drank Kido for the first time because it was on sale at a local supermarket. I guess I need to check the supermarkets without letting my guard down.
The taste was strong but not heavy, and I enjoyed drinking it more and more. And the price was less than 2,000 yen. It is indeed a famous sake... I would like to buy and drink it again since they sell other kinds of sake!
Note: 1,848 yen including tax
At a neighborhood bar.
It's been a long time since I've been to Kido.
It is a junmai sake, but it has a fruity and modern taste.
It is mainly light sweet but has a hint of spiciness.
It is refreshing and easy to drink.
It goes well with the acidity of the vinegared mackerel Nanban.
~Label Description
The Yamamoto family, the brewery of Heiwa Shuzo, started brewing sake in 1928.
Before that, it was a temple called Muryozan Choganji.
This is why some people still refer to the Heiwa Brewery as Choganji.
This sake, named after its mountain name, Muryozan, is the top of the Kido KID series.
It is made from the highest quality Yamada Nishiki,
It is made with the soft and clean water of Kishu, the origin of Kishi, and has the supreme taste of Kishu's climate.
The KID series is very cost-effective, but the highest peak of the series also has a wonderful taste and is still a very good value. ☺️

The mouthfeel is refreshing. Not too spicy and not too sweet. Good balance. There is no peculiar aftertaste. Easy to drink.
It is good to enjoy the aroma even more when served in a wine glass.
Fruity aroma like white grapes
Mild mouthfeel that you would not expect from its aroma
