I knew the name Kamo Kanehide, knew they had an interesting product, and knew that various famous liquor stores carried it, but I never had a chance to drink or buy it. This time I happened to see a rumor about it on Youtube and thought I would like to try it, so I bought it as soon as I saw it!
It has an interesting aroma of muscat and banana, which is refreshing but with a hint of alcohol.
There is a slight fizzy feeling when you drink it. Is this fire-infused? LOL It has a freshness to it! But it also has a calmness...amazing!
The fresh aroma and light mouthfeel are typical of 13%. The sweetness, umami, and acidity are very well balanced. Not only is it light, but it also has a good amount of bitterness, so it has depth. However, the bitterness is not so much that it bothers me, so it is basically smooth.
It has the quality of a standard hi-iru sake, but it has a certain amount of roundness without the harshness of a raw sake. It is fruity, but it is not just a sweet sake.
The price is moderate, so if you are in need of a good sake, just drink this one.
