Brand name] Kirakucho Biwako no Natsu Junmai Sake Sake Brewer] KITA SHUZOH K.K. (Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture) Kind of sake】Junmai-shu Rice] Domestic rice (details unknown) Rice polishing ratio] 65 Alcohol content】15%. Sake Brewer] Straight glass Aroma】+1.0(green apple, steamed rice, white egg dumpling, slight banana) Appearance】Crystal [Taste] [Flavor Body: 1.5 Acidity: 2.0 (predominantly lactic acidic) Sweetness: 1.5 Umami: 1.5 Bitterness: 1.5 Aftertaste: Soft, umami and acidity quietly fade away. Impression: Soft, umami, and light. The aroma is subdued, with a fresh but mild rice aroma. The taste is balanced with a light, refreshing flavor, with all the elements kept in moderation, but the acidity is mild, giving the impression of "softness" as described on the back of the bottle. It is rather tame when served cold, but as the temperature rises, the umami flavor rises. It is not just a summer sake that is refreshing and fresh, but it is the summer of Lake Biwa, not the sea! This is the summer of Lake Biwa, not the sea! It is a great food sake. Repeat Score] 2.0

Kirakucho second by Kita Shuzo, Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture. It has a rice polishing ratio of 65% and a strength of 16 degrees. The label has a strong impact, but the taste is very soothing and easy to drink. It has a slightly peculiar aftertaste, but is it because it is made with white malted rice?

The second bottle was my first Shiga Prefecture sake. Sake from Shiga Prefecture has an image of having a flavor that divides tastes, but this one has an aroma of rice. The taste is easy to drink with a clean aftertaste and the taste of rice spreading through the taste buds. The taste is easy to drink, which is understandable if the theme is "elegant". It is good for those who like umami.

The aftertaste was just about gone. The taste was also fruity. It was light enough to keep drinking.

Kirakucho (Sake meter value +14) A tangy and spicy taste rises to the palate, followed immediately by the umami of rice and a hint of bitterness. Although sharp and dry, the aftertaste quickly disappears, making it easy to drink. It was a bottle with grace, perfect for a drink on a hot day.

I drank it cold. The aroma is not so strong, but the umami flavor seems to disappear quickly. It seems to go well with sashimi, not food with strong flavors. It's not flashy, but it's a nice and safe sake, but it doesn't go down well with sake, so maybe that's why it's not worth the points. I don't think I'll repeat it. 70 points

Like a fruit cocktail. Sake Lover Training Sake! Welcome to the world of sake! The concept behind "first" is to train people to love sake. We want those who opened the door to Japanese sake with "first" to try it next. That is the "Kirakucho Junmai-shu Second" introduced here. Sake rice is Yamadanishiki, rice polishing ratio is 65%, and the yeast is undisclosed. It was served well chilled✨. Complex bitterness and acidity spread across the palate, followed by a weak sweetness, leaving a tingling acidity on the tongue👍. The aftertaste is fruity, with a delicious rice flavor, everything about the sake is in stages 😆 It's a strange taste! I paired it with corn mousse and deep fried thick tofu. The sweetness of the corn blends well with the sake 🤤.
