Recently, Kijo-shu has become a favorite among people who enjoy Japanese sake. This time, it is the first time for me to try Ichinokura's Kijo-shu. It is called "Again", but the reading is "Again". The name is a combination of the English word "Again" and the Miyagi dialect word "Again" (= "Bon appétit"). I didn't know "Again". Now, this is both a noble sake and an aged sake. The maturing period is about one year. When poured into a glass, it has a beautiful amber color, which is rare for sake. The aroma has no ginjo scent, but is strangely sweet. At the beginning, it has a sweet taste like a noble sake, but it has a sour aftertaste. I personally feel that it is like Shaoxing wine with sugar. I admire that sake has a wide nostalgia. If you're going to have a full sake course, you'll want to enjoy it with greasy food or a rich dessert. By all means, if you haven't had it yet, give it a try!
