I had always wanted to try Kameizumi.
It was just as good as its reputation, or even better than I imagined!
Fruity, no longer fruity.
The balance of aroma, sweetness, and sourness is my favorite.
It's another hot and humid day.
Tosa's Kameizumi, yellow labeled sake rice "Gin no Yume" is used.
I will have a bottle of this one.
Oh, oh, oh! It is full of pineapple aroma!
It is not so sweet (Sake meter value -15).
But it's not too sweet, so it's refreshing and easy to drink!
I want to repeat it, but it seems it's not a regular sake!
Let's enjoy this moment 😊.

This is the Gin no Yume version of Kameizumi CEL-24. As a fan of the regular version Yamadanishiki (especially the light nigori), I bought this bottle as soon as it went on sale.
The sweet and fruity characteristics of CEL-24 are still present. Compared to Yamada-Nishiki, it has a more robust umami and a heaviness at the center of the flavor. The aftertaste is refreshing.
Rice used: Kaze Naruko (name at the time of development: Kouiku 63)
Rice polishing ratio: 55% Yeast used: AA-41
Alcohol percentage: 16.5
It has a fruity aroma like melon and banana, and a fine acidity that gives it a slightly carbonated taste, making it a crisp and refreshing sake.
It would go well with sashimi of white meat fish such as sea bream or flatfish 😊.
Went for dinner at 日本酒原価酒蔵 大阪本町店 to try different Nihonshu with food. They sell various Nihonshu in smaller bottles. Only this one and 鳳凰美田 wine cell stood out.
First taste: Pineapple!
Fruity but not sweet; perhaps slightly dry. Worked very well with the Wagyu don and chicken karaage. Delicious and easy drinking. Definitely buying a bottle to try it over several days.
After returning from a night out drinking, I went to CEL-24 for the first time in yellow 😊, with dried salmon given to me by my mom who was waiting for me and my senpai.
Actually, I had been through Kameizumi because it's relatively always there on my dad's business trip home 💦 for a long time & for the first time, a gin dream.
Yes, pineapple 🍍.
Fruity acidity, thick flavor, yet moderately refreshing 😊.
It's good after all 🍍‼️
Sorry I didn't go through with it 🙇.
