Tasting Note

Delicacy and Gentleness
While many junmai daiginjo sakes are characterized by their vibrant, fruity aromas and intense flavors, this sake stands out for its delicate and gentle taste. Meticulous brewing techniques result in a mild and refined flavor profile.

Subtle Ginjo Aroma
Unlike many junmai daiginjo sakes known for their strong ginjo aroma (fruity and floral scents), this sake features a relatively subdued ginjo fragrance. This allows drinkers to better appreciate the inherent aroma and taste of the rice itself.

Smooth Mouthfeel
Thanks to the action of lactic acid bacteria produced during the kimoto brewing method, this sake offers a smoother mouthfeel compared to typical junmai daiginjo sakes.

Long-lasting Aftertaste
The careful brewing process and characteristics of the kimoto method contribute to a longer and more complex aftertaste than what is typically found in junmai daiginjo sakes.

Why We Pick this?

It is a sake that showcases the unique character of the Tohoku region. It emphasizes delicacy and complexity over boldness or intensity. This sake is particularly well-suited for enthusiasts who want to explore the depth and intricacy of high-quality Junmai Daiginjo.

Story of Kamogawa Brewery

The name derives from the Kyoto origin of the brewery, and was given to us by the 5th generation head of the family, who went there to serve as an apprentice and was given the distinction of being a good businessman.

For 280 years since its foundation in 1741, the first generation "Daikokuya Shichishiro" entered this Shirataka township and began brewing sake.

Located in the southwestern part of the country of Dewa (Currently Yamgata and Akit prefecture), the brewery has been brewed by the 14th generation, Issei, as the brewer himself, using the traditional method of sake brewing, using the techniques and rice selected from the rich blessings of nature and the abundance of clean water, rich soil, and clear air.
