A limited edition sake from the Kamotsuru brewery. It has a sweet and tasty flavor, perfect as a food sake. The aroma is subdued, yet sweet. It is a good sake that would go well with strong flavored fish and other dishes.
When I visited the Kamotsuru brewery on August 3,
I visited the Kamotsuru brewery on 8/3 and was given a souvenir of the brewery tour by the toji (master brewer).
I have often seen this wine, but this is the first time for me to drink it!
From the mellow mouthfeel
The rich aroma and sweetness spread from the mild mouthfeel.
And yet, the alcohol taste is still present afterwards. It is very satisfying.
During the brewery tour, it was very informative to hear about the history of Saijo and what they are trying to do in the future.
After listening to the stories, I can taste this sake that I often see in supermarkets with a different feeling!
Business trip to Tajimi
So I had a glass of Sanzenzori ginjo-shu at a business hotel.
After work, before going home, I stopped in Nagoya and had a barrel of Kamotsuru sake at Daijin.
Sake is delicious all over Japan.
Kamotsuru Junmai Sake Nigori
The aroma is completely yogurt! It has a very strong lactic acidity and sweet acidity 🍦.
The taste is also lactic and sweetly acidic, just like the aroma! The turbidity is also quite strong, so it's thick and doesn't feel like you're drinking sake at all! 🥰.
I got the impression that the price was quite cheap too, about 1300 yen! I should have bought several bottles 😭

Saijo Sake Brewery Tour
Kamotsuru - a brand I've heard a lot about, but this was my first time drinking it.
We ordered four kinds of sake to compare!
(1) Junmai-shu Akane
It is rich and mild, with a hint of grain like Shaoxing sake.
(2) Special Junmai Sake "Ai
It has an aroma of rice sweetness and is easy to drink with a sourness and fruity taste typical of a sake made from the original brewing process.
(4) Junmai Ginjo Orange
The aroma is fruity and sweet with a hint of honey. It has a more straightforward sourness, and after the sourness, there was a refreshing feeling as in the first period. It is my favorite.
4) Ugui Junmai Daiginjo
As expected of a Junmai Daiginjo, it is the most fruity, but it also has a strong sense of alcohol from the aroma. It has a spicy and bitter taste with a hint of sweetness.
Hi, Kurumafu 😃 This is my first time commenting on your site. I hope you are on a brewery tour. The chimney of Kamotsuru made me nostalgic for Saijo where I spent my school days. I am glad to see that you are still alive and well 😁.
Thank you for your comment, Mr. Studying. I am on a brewery tour to rave reviews! It is very enjoyable to be able to taste the unique characteristics of each brewery, while at the same time being able to taste the sake that is typical of Saijo. Kamotsuru's sake is especially interesting as each brewery has its own unique characteristics!
My long-awaited visit to "Daijin Honten" in Fushimi, Nagoya
As an izakaya (Japanese style bar) lover, I wanted to visit this restaurant once.
First of all, I was overwhelmed by the crowded restaurant,
The best was the heated Kamotsuru cask sake, which had a clean cask aroma, good warmth, and just the right amount of richness.
A large sake bottle holds about 2 gou (about 2 cups), and it's so stable that you'll want to drink it all the time.
The snacks are also excellent, and sake drinkers will not be able to get enough of them.
The Mikatagahara potato stew, which was selected from the counter, is a spicy dish with a twist.
The simmered conger eel and squid are soft and exquisite.
A variety of snacks are supplied one after another, and if you go to the counter when you feel like it, you will be annoyed in a positive way by the selection of fascinating new snacks 😌.
The sashimi and other seafood are also said to be of high quality, but this first time I was very satisfied without going that far.
It is a wonderful izakaya. Thanks for the food.
Good morning, Mr. Hiraccio. I was completely taken in by the wonderfulness of Daijin Honten! I was so impressed by the warmed Kamotsuru sake and delicious snacks that I wanted to go to Daijin Honsen so badly 😆.
Hi, Mr. Hiraccio!
[I've been to this restaurant before the Corona disaster.
I had a chance to go there before the Corona disaster, but the heated "Kamotsuru" sake here and the fun of choosing and bringing your own entree is unique 😁.
I'm tempted to go back ✨
Hi, Mr. Hiraccio
I see you went to Daijin🍶. I've been there a few times myself 😋 and I'm sure you enjoyed the atmosphere and the sake 🫴 of a popular izakaya 😄.
Ace, good evening 🌆.
I didn't know how to do it at first, but I learned by asking the customer across the street.
I wonder if they know the price by the type of plate.
The atmosphere was also great, full of enthusiasm and liveliness.
A bottle with gold leaf for celebratory occasions.
It is easy to drink and has a clear and tasty taste, but you need to be careful because it has a lot of alcohol.
So it might be better to stop with a bottle of this size.
