“This was my very first sake ever, so I'm not sure how valuable my perspective on sake can be. That said, my friends and I found this sake very palatable. We drank it chilled with sushi, and the bottle was gone before we knew it. The flavor was mild but distinctive and slightly sweet. I think I have a long relationship with sake ahead of me, and I'm glad it started here.”
Hi Natalie.
Thank you so much for your a lot of review.
We are really glad to get that.
We also really glad to you get your first sake from us.
Kagatobi “Junmai Ginjo” is mild sake , but not too sweet. So, I hope you had fun with some SUSHI.
I hope you will find your favorite sake soon!
Thank you so much!
“Purchased as part of a Sake Box, and it’s a real winner. Nice fruity aroma with pear notes; nicely rich yet dry on the palate, with a clean yet slightly creamy finish. (And it matched well with a bowl of spicy tonkatsu ramen, too!)”
“This is a very good all-around Junmai. Well balanced flavor with a sweet entrance, but nice dry finish. We really enjoyed it, but not quite as much as the stellar Kagatobi Extra Dry, hence the 4 stars. The price is also great though, so I would still recommend if you are on the fence.”
Thank you for your review, Robert! We appreciate your honest opinion and glad you had a pleasant time. This bottle is light and dry, and not as dry as Kagatobi "Ex Dry". If you would like the similar taste with different , we recommend you check out Kurosawa "Junmai" https://www.tippsysake.com/collections/rich-dry/products/kurosawa-junmai
“Tied for my favorite of the 9 sakes I got from the tasting boxes. Loved it with a variety of sashimi and sushi, smooth, just enough umami. Could easily sip way too much of this!”
Thank you so much for mentioning the food you had with Kagatobi "Junmai Ginjo"! It is very easy to sip because their clean flavor and bright finish, matches well certainly with Japanese food as you said! We are happy to hear you can't stop having a good time!!
