Hori
I had a bottle of Kameizumi Junmai Ginjo CEL-24 Light Nigori.
Kameizumi CEL-24 has been my benchmark ever since I first had it as a sake beginner. Since it is a light nigori of that sake, I have been interested in it for a long time.
When I tried to get a hold of it, I could not find any stock at all, except for some evidence that it was sold at a few sake stores. I had given up on it when I found information that it was distributed only in Kochi Prefecture or produced in small quantities for restaurants, but the other day I found it for sale at Sakenomy. I bought it immediately. It may have been a special order production for Sakenomy because I did not see it on other liquor store e-commerce sites.
The long-awaited light nigori was even better than expected. There are many brands that change their character as soon as they become light nigori, but in the case of Kameizumi CEL-24, the sweet and fruity taste of clear sake is preserved, while the lactic acidity and complexity of light nigori are added. The pleasantly miscalculated slightly carbonated taste knocked me out with just one sip.
Sakenomy had it in stock for a while, but it seems that there is no more left. I wonder when I will be able to encounter it again. I will wait patiently.
