Number One in the IWC 2013 Sake Category with 583 brands
Winner of the Number One "Champion Sake" The "Daiginjo Kyokuso Kitaya" is a representative sake of Kitaya. It was awarded "Champion Sake" at the top of 583 brands in the Sake category of IWC (International Wine Challenge) 2013, the world's most prestigious competition. This is the second time a Kyushu sake brewery has achieved this feat.
Sam Harrop, head of the IWC, explained, "The aroma of blackcurrant bud, passion fruit, and ripe grapefruit is impressive. On the palate, the sweetness comes first, followed by a very soft and gentle acidity, and finally a subtle bitterness of orange and lemon zest.
Harrop then praised the wine as "exotic and modern, yet with great richness and clarity. The wine wowed the palate of the Master of Wine, the world's most demanding wine certification.
Daiginjo Kyokuso Kitaya is made from Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture. The mellow flavor and fruity aroma are outstanding among Kitaya's numerous sakes. In the mouth, it is soft and smooth. The passion of the brewers for sake brewing can be glimpsed.
It is a souvenir! Azashita 😄 delicious!

Thank you for your comment, ma-ki-. It happened to be served in the lounge and I was able to drink it. I usually tend to go for ginjo sake, but junmai sake is delicious 😋. It was quite to my liking 😌.
