This sake is a collaboration with "Suminoe Sake Brewery" in Miyagi Prefecture in an attempt to exchange rice. I wondered if it tasted light. but the taste afterward was delicious. Here is the explanation On the palate, the fresh aroma of No. 14 yeast is very high both in the standing aroma and in the mouth aroma. The taste is light and crisp, with a moderate greenness and freshness that harmonize with the quality of the sake. In terms of production, we tried to make the most of the characteristics of Miyagi Prefecture's sake rice, "Gin-no-Iroha," while also adding Kirakucho's unique characteristics. The sake is brewed with a mix of East and West, with the lightness and crispness of Tohoku and Miyagi in mind, and the full, citrusy aroma of Kirakucho's signature No. 14 yeast. We were also conscious of the new design of Junmai Daiginjo, which was a change from previous Kirakucho brews, while incorporating Suminoe Shuzo's sake brewing methods in the unrefining management. It was our first attempt at brewing and we had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Please enjoy the new side of Kirakucho!

It is sweet but refreshing. I heard that this is made with beer yeast. Here is the explanation This time, it is characterized by a soft and smooth mouthfeel, with a sweet fruity finish like passion fruit. The alcohol content is low, so this bottle has a light, juice-like feel. However, Infinity-Infinity is still in the experimental brewing stage, and the flavor may change depending on the brewing process and the yeast used. We are still working on a new brew using beer yeast, and we are sure it will have a completely different flavor.

It is fruity and delicious! We had a hard-to-find sake. Here is the description. A slightly greenish hue. The atmosphere is pure and sharp, with grapefruit zest and pear lafrance further accentuating the freshness along with the green aroma of zubrowka grass (bison grass), and the slight sweetness of plum blossoms enhancing the dignified atmosphere. The palate is extremely dry and clean. Tight and intense throughout, leaving a tight, slightly silky minerality.

Commentary. Seito Sake Brewery, which brews Katsikoma, a "sake that knows true luxury" brewed by a small handmade sake brewery in Toyama, was founded in 1906. It began when Keisuke Seito I, a member of the cavalry during the Russo-Japanese War, returned to Japan and opened a sake brewery, which he named "Katsikoma" to commemorate his victory. The warehouse building still retains its old-fashioned sake brewery style, and was registered as a national tangible cultural material in 2000. The brewery is a small brewery with a total production of about 300goku, and has been brewing sake under the motto of "no more falsehoods" (no more falsehoods) in the brewery since its establishment, with a "small brewery style, no more items, and no half-hearted new products". Characterized by its gentle rice aroma, light taste, and well-balanced flavor, it is a sake that goes well with everyday home cooking, an authentic sake rooted in daily life. The logo on the label was created by the artist Masuo Ikeda. It is delicious.

The standing aroma is a double layer of dry nutty aroma and a moderate aged aroma that is typical of Akaban Omachi from underneath.

I bought it in Matsuyama after climbing Mt. Ishizuchi. I then went to Iyo Saijo, where the brewery is located, There was a lot of spring water from Ishizuchi Mt. This sake is made with the limpid water from this Ishizuchi mountain range. It is not fruity, but it seemed to me to have the taste of a double-bottomed wine. The brewery's slogan is "Sake made for customers who love Ishizuchi," and they aim to make sake that is delicious from the third cup, focusing on junmai (pure rice) and junmai ginjo sake. It is delicious.
