Kaganoi Daiginjo, a sake from Itoigawa, Niigata.
It uses medium-hard water, which is rare in Niigata. The hardness of the sake quality is not very apparent. It is full-bodied and mellow, with a strong ginjo character. It has a richness for a Niigata sake. It has umami and sharpness.
The brewery burned down in 2016 and has been rebuilt, but the Noto earthquake has had almost no impact on the brewery.
