Hououmida has a number of limited edition sakes made from rare sake rice. The "Kameiki" used in this sake is a mutant strain of the famous rare rice, Kame-no-o.
Even Kame-no-o is a very scarce sake rice, so the production of Kameiki is even more limited, making it a truly rare sake rice.
Pouring it into a glass, you will be surprised by its mellow, peachy, melon-like ginjo aroma. The aroma is gorgeous, yet elegant and graceful. In the mouth, a rich sweetness fills the palate, and the sweetness is enhanced by the acidity that is felt in the sweetness, which is expressed as a delicious flavor. The elegant sweetness also appears in the aftertaste, but the acidity mentioned above gives it a refreshing sweetness.
This is a limited edition sake of Hououmida, also known as "Hige-ban" (mustache seal) because of its font, which is quite rare.
Rice used: Kameiki
Polishing: 50%.
