Aged for 10 years. The aroma of maturity is well controlled, but it is not too twisted and is very easy to drink. The label on the back says it is an introduction to aged sake, and it is.
The sake I wanted to drink was sold out and I had never heard of Kirakucho 🍶.
There are still many brands that I don't know and have never encountered 😊.
Cute label. It is said to resemble Lake Biwa.
The store's pop-up sign said it was "like cotton candy," and it was. It was a junmai ginjo with a strong sweet rice flavor.
This one with a stylish label is said to be the first bottle brewed by Kirakucho under the theme of sake. The alcohol content is 15%, which is a little on the low side.
It has a creamy sweetness to it. Gentle like cotton candy. As for the taste, it is fruity with a bit of sourness. Pear-like would be a good description.
It's an easy-drinking drink, and it's probably good with slightly stronger flavors.
Junmai Daiginjo was on the all-you-can-drink menu!
I've sometimes encountered Kirakucho at shigi38 and Yanoie, but this was my first time to try Junmai Daiginjo!
It was thinner than I expected.
I thought it would be a bit more fruity.
Maybe it's because the two before that had quite an impact!
