This is my second visit to Kagiya.
I've been drinking a lot of fruity stuff lately, so it's been a while since I've had a mild but "sake! It's been a while since I drank anything fruity, so this was the first time in a while.
I love that they used a child's drawing as the label!
Seiryu Shuzo
Kagiya Unfiltered Ajiguchi Light Nigori Nama
Brewed sake has a negative image, but this one has the goodness of a honjozo sake.
The aroma has no unpleasant taste of alcohol, and it has the umami of rice and sweetness of a light nigori, with the sharpness of a honjozo sake and the high alcohol content of 18.5%.
The kind that makes you very drunk!
My regular liquor store was temporarily closed, so I went to a nearby brewery.
I was grateful for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the first pressing by chance!
It was fresh!
There is no acidity, but just the right amount of sweetness without any cloying taste.
Thank you, ma-ki! We are a family of complete non-drinkers except for me, and my sister's husband barely drinks a little 😂This beer tasting contest was hosted by my nephew Taro who likes to see adults having fun 😅.

Rating 4.4-4.5
Ingredients: Matsuyama Mitsui, 70% polished rice, 15-16% alcohol by volume

This is a junmai made kijoshu. As indicated by the sake's "-17" sake meter, this sake is characterized by its sweetness. As is typical of Iyo Kagiya, this bottle has a light sweetness that does not tire the drinker, well-balanced acidity, and a pleasant lingering aftertaste that can be enjoyed for a long time. Enjoy it with cheese and dried fruits. It can also be served with vanilla ice cream for an adult dessert.
