Iyo Kagiya Muroka Ajikuchi Honjozo Blue (720 ml)

IYO KAGIYA Muroka Ajikuchi Honjozo Blue is produced by Kagiya Brewery in Ehime Prefecture, located on the island of Shikoku, Japan. The brewery is known for creating expressive sake that highlights the natural balance between aroma, texture, and drinkability.

This sake belongs to the Honjozo category, where a small amount of distilled alcohol is added during the brewing process. This traditional technique helps lift the aroma, lighten the body, and create a cleaner, more refreshing finish.

The designation “Ajikuchi” (味口) translates roughly to “flavorful” or “rich in taste.” It indicates that the sake is crafted to emphasize depth of flavor and satisfying mouthfeel rather than a very light or delicate style.

The term “Muroka” (無濾過) means the sake is unfiltered by charcoal, preserving more of its natural flavor, aroma, and texture. This results in a slightly fuller and more expressive profile compared with highly filtered sake.

Within the Iyo Kagiya lineup, the Blue label typically represents a balanced and approachable style—offering both structure and freshness while remaining versatile with food.
