I saw it featured on the Instagram of my favorite liquor store and immediately went to buy it when I saw how delicious it looked ❤️!
This is a new sake brewery that was established in Kochi in 2024 by a former toji (master brewer) of Kameizumi for about 20 years.
The sake is made with special grade Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture and a yeast called Little CEL24, which is different from CEL24.
It has a gorgeous pineapple-like aroma, melon sweetness and flavor, and is very easy to drink.
The second day after opening the bottle, it became mellower and tastier!
I thought the brand name "Clouds in the Mountains," the name of the first sake "Zaaa Zaaa," and the design of the label were all very nice, feeling fresh and new, but also simple and neatly Japanese in their beauty!
Somehow, it reminded me of a poem by Kenji Miyazawa. Kenji was from Iwate, and this one is from Kochi, lol!
