Kameizumi is a pineapple-like, fruity, penetrating sake made with CEL-24 yeast. This is a series of different rice varieties, and uses Gin-no-Yume developed in Kochi.
As for the taste, it is as fruity as ever. It also has a mild sweetness and a honey-like flavor. It is a fruity pineapple honey juice without bitterness.
It has a taste that sets it apart from others, yet it is not sharp with strange habits, and even beginners will say it is delicious. No wonder it is so popular.
Purchases from Kochi trip: ✈️
Kameizumi is known for its handwritten labels...
I found it for sale at various souvenir shops.

The image of CEL-24 was too strong,
It was more mellow and dry than I expected, which is typical of Kochi!
Delicious!
Fruity pineapple!
You can taste the pineapple.
However, it's a pity that the pineapple flavor fades after a few days of use.
the pineapple flavor fades away.
I would like to finish it soon.
I wonder if the change is more noticeable when the sake is still fresh.
It is very fruity and easy to drink. Various youtube bars and sake lovers introduce it as a sake for beginners and for those who don't like sake, but I wonder how many beginners will be able to reach it 😅.
I wish they would introduce it as a sake for beginners, including the difficulty of obtaining it!
Mr. Partner purchased the wine from among seven varieties he was allowed to try at a liquor store tasting.
Sourness and sweetness reminiscent of green apple and pineapple.
Wild aftertaste with a sense of rice and a rough sweetness.
This is a nice, robust taste.
Honjozo type "Kameizumi" harvested on a trip to Kochi
In addition to local products, there are also famous brands of honjozo and local sake, so a visit to the local supermarket is a must..!
When the bottle is opened and poured, the aroma has a hint of melon and tropical fruit.
The mouthfeel is crisp and light. The taste is light and sharp with a spicy acidity. There is a glimpse of apple-like floral and sweet flavors, as well as a subtle astringent umami taste.
And, as expected, it has a clear and crisp sharpness!
It is a delicious and easy way to enjoy the Kochi feeling ✨.
It's a great cosmetics, and is truly a high quality honjozo!
If it were sold near me, I would buy it for daily use👍.

This is an interesting bottle that is a cross between CEL-19 and CEL-24, and is very Kameizumi. The tropical aroma of CEL-24 is immediately apparent upon smelling it. The sweet and sourness of the sake is in perfect harmony with the tropical aroma.
It is a very modern and fruity sake that will appeal to different tastes.

Mr. Kisuki. Thanks for your comment. Today we have a lot of sake from Kochi, including South, but Kochi sake is very good. I hope you can tell me a lot about it.

I like Kameizumi, and I think I definitely liked the taste of this one. I was too drunk to even remember drinking it. I'll leave my impressions for the next time.
