The first thing that comes through is the aroma, which is ginjo aroma but a bit heavy. However, it is light on the palate, and the slight bitterness is a nice accent. It is well-balanced as a food sake.
From the Kura’s website “This light cloudy sake is made using 100% Tsuyahime rice, a specially cultivated rice grown by Inoue Farm in Yamagata Prefecture, with over 70% pesticides and chemical fertilizers removed. Tsuyahime is not a rice usually used for brewing sake, but rather a representative food rice of Yamagata Prefecture.”
Quite mellow but with a soft almost sour aroma. Really good.
I went to a liquor store in the city today and bought this Koigawa because it was on sale.
It is said to be made from 100% Yamagata rice.
The label on the back says it tastes good lukewarm, but I drank it hanayaka (cold).
It's refreshingly dry.
It's easy to drink.
