Kaori
The color is crystal with a faint yellowish tinge.
Aromas of soft butter, cheese, and other dairy products. There are also elements of beeswax, mushrooms, soup stock, and a hint of soy sauce. The aromatic elements are complex, but the intensity of the aroma is not very strong.
On the palate, there is a strong caramel-like sweetness on the attack. Then the umami spreads quickly. In the second half, a mild but firm acidity develops. The umami lingers slowly until the aftertaste.

Kame-no-O Junmai Daiginjo
Transparent with a slight yellow tinge
Aroma like cooked rice for a 40% polished rice
Mild but typical aged aroma like matured cheese, beeswax and shiitake mushrooms
Slightly sweet on the attack, but dry overall.
The texture is full and rich.
First PP tops in 2016 with 10 years of aging, Kusumi Shuzo's Jun Dai standard
At 4,000 yen, this is a reasonable price for a flagship, yet it is an honors sake with few flaws like some of the more expensive second-hand sake breweries in recent years (although the direction is different from that of the gorgeous fragrant sake).
It has been three years since it was released from the warehouse, so you can enjoy the sense of maturity and the cost performance is extremely high.
On the other hand, it is a classic Niigata sake (not a cheap light dry sake, but a high-end sake) with rich umami and mild raw material aroma, so it does not follow the recent trend.

The moment I put it in my mouth, the mild sweetness of the rice spread to my palate.

Aromas of apple, melon, chervil, joshin powder, and cotton candy. The slightly elevated acidity is balanced by sweetness. While the flavors are thick, they are not complex. The bitterness felt in the aftertaste seems to contribute to the sharpness.

Staying at my daughter's apartment.
I put my grandson to bed and had a bottle of Kame no O which my junior gave me.
It is a well-balanced sake, though not modern.
Sweetness, sweetness, richness, acidity...all are not assertive and plain, but it is delicious.
It is indeed a local sake of Niigata.
Tomorrow, I will go on a business trip to Sendai.
I will drink a lot of delicious sake in Sendai.

Thank you for your comment, yum yum 🙇♂️.
Grandchildren are cute, but they are also tiring 😢.
Ujinoki is not near Sendai station, but the food is delicious and the sake is reasonably priced, including Shinmasa.

I thought it was Kame-no-o but it was Kame-no-o.
I drank it a long time ago, so I don't know how it tastes...

I had a chance to enjoy Kame no O, which I had hoped to have someday ☺️.
The Junmai Ginjo has a stimulating mouthfeel and a refined alcohol taste that goes into the nose. The 3 year old sake is even more silky, mellow, and clear, and I can't stop drinking it. The three-year aging process is even more silky, mellow, and clear, and you can't stop drinking it.

After Mutsu Hachisen wine yeast sake, we moved on to the same fruity but sticky Japanese sake. Kame no O. We had a little bit of it chilled. Sake is crisp and tasty. Raise the temperature to room temperature. Now, let's drink. The fruity taste that is typical of sake. Kame-no-o, the taste of rice. It is a good sake. Cheers again!

Sake rice, Kame-no-o. Junmai Daiginjo, Kame no O. I opened the bottle with great pleasure.
It has a fruity, clear mouthfeel. The aroma of the ginjo was moderate. The umami flavor is not too strong and seems to be draining away. I see. I can see why.
We had a wonderful combination of lightly salted red chicken, Nagoya Cochin, and rock oysters from Sato Farm, all served simply with good sake.

酔生夢死
Kame-no-o" is a "phantom sake rice" that was cultivated throughout the Tohoku region during the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras, but disappeared due to its susceptibility to disease and pests, and its tendency to fall over easily.
When Kisugi Kusumi, the sixth generation of Kusumi Sake Brewer, heard this from an elder Echigo Touji, he was filled with romance and said, "I really want to make sake with that rice! In 1980, he obtained 1,500 grains of Kame-no-o rice from the Niigata Prefectural Nagaoka Agricultural Experiment Station, harvested 4,800 kg two years later, and brewed his first bottle with 600 kg in December. 5 years later, the manga "Natsuko's Sake," based on the sake brewing process using a reproduction of Kame-no-o rice, began serialization in comic magazines, and in 1994, the TV drama "Natsuko's Sake" was produced. In 1994, the TV drama "Natsuko's Sake" was broadcast. In 2008, the world-renowned wine critic Robert Parker Advocate rated sake for the first time and awarded it "No. 1" out of 800 brands nationwide with the highest Parker point of 98.
Ingredients: 100% contract-grown Kame-no-o
Rice polishing ratio 40
Alcohol content 16
Sake meter degree +4
Acidity 1.4
12 degrees Hanakairo
Refreshing aroma, more flower than fruit
Soft mouthfeel
Slightly sweet like dried persimmon
core of acidity cuts through the sweetness.
The lingering finish is very fragile and very beautiful.

A souvenir from a business trip to Niigata.
My colleague introduced me to Miyakoya and I bought it.
It was a very tasty sake with the beautiful lightness and umami of Niigata.
The bonito was also very nice and fatty, so it made for a good dinner.

It is such a delicious sake that you can't help but drink too much.
I am looking forward to drinking the 3-year aged version.
