This brewery is famous for its Kimmiya shochu.
It has a clear, slightly pale yellow-crystal color.
The aroma is fruit-forward, with honey apple, pear, melon, banana, and an elegant rice aroma like joshinko there. The ethyl caproate aroma is well pronounced.
The mouthfeel is smooth, with a mild, elegant sweetness, and the acidity is smooth. Due to the fruit flavor, the sweetness extends beyond the actual sweetness, and a pleasant full-bodied bitterness finishes the palate through the aftertaste.
Delicious.
It is a sake that can be enjoyed well on its own.
Incidentally, it seems to be a 2022 Klamaster Gold Award winner and a 2022 Gold Award winner of the Delicious Sake in a Wineglass Award.
I always drink it in an INAO tasting glass, which gives a good spread of aroma, so I could understand its goodness.
