Tasting notes
Kameizumi is a Junmai Daïginjo Genshu, a pure fruit of rice fermentation, with no alcohol added at the end of the process and no adjustment by adding water. The use of a special yeast strain, CEL24, developed in the Kochi region, gives Kameizumi remarkable characteristics. The nose is super expressive and incredibly fruity. It is lively and fresh in the mouth, with notes of green apple, young herbs and crispy grapes. Underneath, are rich and dense scents of tropical fruits and bananas. It is round, evolving on the juicy pear. Lots of freshness. Nice acidity and liveliness.

About this sake

One of their most popular offerings is the Kameizumi CEL24 Junmai Daiginjo Genshu. This sake is made using only the finest Yamada Nishiki rice, which is polished to 24% of its original size. The result is a sake that is incredibly smooth and refined, with a delicate aroma and a clean, crisp finish.
The production process for the Kameizumi CEL24 Junmai Daiginjo Genshu is a true testament to the skill and expertise of the brewers at Kameizumi Shuzo. The rice is carefully washed and steamed before being mixed with koji (a type of mold) and yeast. The mixture is then left to ferment for several weeks, during which time the koji breaks down the starch in the rice into sugar, which is then converted into alcohol by the yeast.
Once the fermentation process is complete, the sake is pressed and filtered to remove any impurities. The resulting liquid is then bottled and aged for several months to allow the flavors to fully develop.
