It has a rather firm gassy feeling. The fruity, light and refreshing mouthfeel reminds me of drinking a soda on the beach under a beach parasol.
The sourness and bitterness come in later.
The sweetness is strong, making it a sake that makes you feel like you are in your youth.
Kawatsuru is sweet.

Sake rice Sanuki Yomai
Polishing ratio 58
Slightly fruity on the palate. The lingering aftertaste is sweet with a hint of bitterness, and the acidity is normally well balanced. Easy to drink. Very tasty.
I found out that it is made by the brewery Sanuki Kuraudai. I can understand why he likes it so much.
First of all, the label is eye-catching. I don't know what it reads, but it is typical of KAWATSURU.
When I drank it, I found it to be quite acidic. It is like a grapefruit that is not bitter. Looking at the label carefully, I see that it is made with white malted rice, which gives it that kind of sourness. If anything, it tastes like wine.
Among the sakes we drank at the restaurant, this one had a particularly strong impact on us.
This is a Kawatsuru PB recommended by Watanabe Sake Shop in Takamatsu City during a trip to Kagawa Prefecture. It has a fruity-sweet and sharp taste with a clear outline. Fresh, fresh, and delicious!
An original product of Yajima Sake Shop and the brewery.
Fresh, fruity, full-bodied, and just a bundle of deliciousness.
The price is also excellent at 1,430 yen including tax!

This is the other one of the two bottles I purchased 😃.
It has an unusual name, but according to the brewery's website.
According to the brewery's website, the name "Kagawa Sake" comes from the name of the rice fields of the contract farmer who has been growing rice with the brewery for more than 20 years.
Delicious 😋!
It has a spiciness with a delicious flavor!
From the beginning, the sake is consistently tangy and spicy, but it also has the umami of rice as its foundation, so it is not only spicy but also has a profound and sharp taste 😋.
I served it chilled.

Delicious Kagawa sake as last time: ❤️ Slightly fruity aroma, tangy, a little minerality at the end, and when it cools down a bit, the round umami comes through. I made a stew with it today 💦 maybe with tempura, grilled food, or soba noodles 🥰.

This is my first Kagawa sake 🍶😃.
Pheho and I went to a liquor store 🚗 to try some sake from a prefecture we've never tried before ❗️.
We went for Kagawa sake and told the clerk what we liked and bought 2 bottles as he recommended 😅.
This sake is brewed with olive yeast!
I never knew that Kagawa is the largest producer of olives in Japan 😲.
According to the description
According to the description, it has "a refreshing acidity and aroma of green tea and muscatelike fruit.
According to the description, it has "a refreshing acidity and green tea and muscat-like aroma".
Delicious 😋.
I had never heard of green tea before, but now that you mention it, the acidity and astringency are not too assertive, but definitely present in a subdued way, a very "Japanese" taste👍.
And like green tea, it closes with a hint of sweetness👍
I see 🧐.
I had it chilled.
The aroma I felt was...
-Aroma: Slightly sweet 👍
Aroma: Slight sweetness 👍 - Inhaled aroma: Slight muscat aroma on the nose

Yukinoya has 4 kinds of sake from Kagawa, which is amazing ‼️ and I got 2 olive-colored bottles 🫒The olive yeast is a nice local touch 💖Asparagus on special today 🤭Grilled with garlic and hamburger steak 🥰It's very oriental 👍
Good evening shinsaku3 & Pekho😃!
Congratulations on your first Kagawa sake ㊗️ 🎉We have only had one Kagawa 😅and that was also olive 🫒brewed 🤗I think green tea 🍵 would make it too tight 😆I will refer you to the second Kagawa 👍.
